reinforced composites

Reinforced composites are materials made by combining a strong, sturdy substance (the matrix) with reinforcing fibers or particles. This pairing results in a material that benefits from the best qualities of both components—such as improved strength, durability, and lightweight properties—compared to using either alone. Common examples include fiberglass, where glass fibers are embedded in a plastic matrix, and carbon fiber composites used in aerospace and sports equipment. These materials are tailored for specific applications where high performance, reduced weight, and resilience are essential.
