Structural Composites

Structural composites are materials made from two or more different substances combined to create a stronger or lighter material than the individual components. Commonly used in aerospace, automotive, and construction, these composites often consist of a strong fiber, like carbon or glass, embedded in a resin or plastic matrix. This combination enhances properties like strength, stiffness, and durability while reducing weight. For instance, a carbon-fiber composite in an aircraft wing can improve fuel efficiency by being both lightweight and strong, demonstrating the advantages of using structural composites in various high-performance applications.
