fiber-reinforced composites

Fiber-reinforced composites are materials made by combining a strong fiber, like glass or carbon, with a plastic or resin. This blend gives the composite enhanced strength and durability while keeping it lightweight. Commonly used in various industries, such as aerospace, automotive, and sports equipment, these materials are designed to withstand stress and resist damage better than traditional materials alone. By aligning the fibers in specific directions, manufacturers can tailor the composite's properties to meet specific performance requirements, making them highly versatile for advanced applications.
