Question

What are polymer matrix composites?

Answer 1

See photo

PMCs are designed to transfer loads between fibers through the matrix.

A polymer matrix composite is a composite material composed of a variety of short or continuous fibers bound together by an organic polymer matrix.

Answer 2

---> Polymer Composite Matrix (PMC) is a composition of variety of straight continuous fibers joined by organic polymer matrix.

---> They are light weight having high strength.

---> They show resistance to abrasion and corrosion.

---> They are usually found in graphite, fiberglass and aramid.

---> Unfortunately, they are not environment friendly and absorb moisture from environment.
