Fiber Reinforced Polyester Composite Materials: Testing & Fabrication

A composite material is a non-uniform solid consisting of two or more different materials that are mechanically bonded together. Each of the various components retains its identity in the composite and maintains its characteristics structure and properties. Generally, the structure of a composite consists of two phases' matrix and reinforcement. There are many processes to fabricate a composite material, but hand layup method is easy and cost effective. One method is based on the matrix material which includes polymers, metals, and ceramics. The other method is based on the reinforcement phase which has the shape of fiber, particulate, and whisker. In this book, we are going to fabricate a composite material using Epoxy and Polyester as matrix phase and bamboo as fiber.
