polymer matrix composites

Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are materials made by combining two distinct components: a polymer resin and reinforcing fibers, such as carbon or glass. The polymer serves as a binder, providing shape and protection, while the fibers enhance strength and stiffness. This combination results in lightweight, strong, and durable materials used in various applications, including aerospace, automotive, and sports equipment. PMCs offer advantages like resistance to corrosion and low maintenance, making them ideal for producing high-performance parts in industries where weight and strength are critical.
