Composite Material

• Composite materials are made up of different materials which are combined to improve their properties.
• Glass-reinforced plastic

  • glass fibre covered in smooth resin which sets rigid
  • easily coloured and complex shapes can be formed
  • is light, waterproof, chemically resistant, corrosion resistant, heat resistant and good strength to weight ratio
• Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic

  • carbon fibre and resin
  • strong, waterproof, expensive, chemically resistant, corrosion resistant, heat resistant and good strength to weight ratio
