Composites
• Very important in our 21st Century world
• Listed as one of the top 10 greatest engineering developments of last quarter of the 20th Century– Others: Apollo moon landing, unmanned
satellites, microprocessor, CAD, CT scan, jumbo jet, lasers, fiber-optic communication, genetic engineering

What are composites?
• Solid materials composed of a binder or matrix that surrounds and holds in place reinforcements.– The material consists of two (or more) phases– One of the phases is continuous (the matrix)– The other phase is discontinuous (the
reinforcement)– The phases can be thought of as a group of
islands (discontinuous) in a sea (continuous)

Matrix purposes
• Hold the reinforcements together • Give shape to the object• Transfer loads to the reinforcements
Protect the reinforcements– Heat– Weather– Flammability– Impacts– Solvent/water

Reinforcement purposes
• Carry the load (most mechanical properties)
• Give directionality of some properties (optional)

Types of composites
• Engineering– Fiberglass reinforced– Matrix of unsaturated polyesters and vinyl esters or
common engineering thermoplastics– Uses: tub/shower, boats, automotive, pipes,
architectural, etc.
• Advanced– Carbon fiber, aramid fiber, or other high performance
reinforcements– Matrix of epoxies and specialty resins– Uses: aerospace, sporting goods, specialty

Basic Materials – a primer
• Three types of solid materials– Ceramics– Metals– Polymers
• These differ, at the most fundamental level, in the types of bonds between the atoms

Polymers
• Polymers can be natural (like wood, cotton, wool, leather)
• Polymers can be man-made (plastics)
• Polymers can be easily shaped (molded)
• Polymers have other advantages over ceramics and metals
![Page 11: 02 Composite Resins (2)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081412/54486e3cb1af9f90298b4c99/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Polymers
• Made from small molecules (monomers) which are linked together– “mono” means one– “mer” means unit
• The linked monomers form a chain-like structure called a polymer– “poly” means many
• The links are the covalent bonds between the atoms

Polymers
• Many millions of chains exist in the typical polymeric part
• The chains are intertwined – Like a mass of spaghetti
![Page 15: 02 Composite Resins (2)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081412/54486e3cb1af9f90298b4c99/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What determines physical, chemical and mechanical properties of
materials?
• Molecular shape and movement– Crystallinity– Thermal transitions and crosslinks – Aromaticity– Pendant groups– Chemical nature of the backbone
• Bonding between matrix and reinforcements • Polarity (like attracts like)
![Page 16: 02 Composite Resins (2)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081412/54486e3cb1af9f90298b4c99/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Polymers − Physical structure
• Amorphous − Polymers that have no regular internal structure (just like the spaghetti)
• Semi-crystalline − Polymers that have some internal structure (regular packing)– Semi-crystalline polymers vary in the amount of
packing (crystallinity)– Semi-crystalline polymers with high percentage of
packing are sometimes called crystalline – No polymers are 100% crystalline
![Page 17: 02 Composite Resins (2)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081412/54486e3cb1af9f90298b4c99/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Polymers − melting, molecular weight, crosslinking
• Polymers are classified into two groups depending on whether they are crosslinked– Thermoplastics (not crosslinked)– Thermosets (crosslinked)
• Crosslinks are covalent bonds that link between the polymer chains
• When crosslinking occurs, the polymers will no longer melt– When heated to a high temperature, they burn or char
![Page 19: 02 Composite Resins (2)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081412/54486e3cb1af9f90298b4c99/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Thermoplastics• Thermoplastics are not crosslinked and so they
will melt• Thermoplastics are processed (molded) as
molten liquids • Thermoplastics are cooled to solidify• Thermoplastics can be re-melted repeatedly• Kitchen example:
candy
• Examples of thermoplastics: polyethylene, polystyrene, nylon, polycarbonate, acrylic, Teflon®, PET (thermoplastic polyester)
![Page 20: 02 Composite Resins (2)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081412/54486e3cb1af9f90298b4c99/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Thermosets
• Thermosets are crosslinked and do not melt • Crosslinking is sometimes called curing• Thermosets are processed as room
temperature liquids • Thermosets are heated to solidify• Kitchen example:
cake
• Examples of thermosets: polyesters, vinyl esters, epoxies, phenolics, polyimides, silicones
![Page 21: 02 Composite Resins (2)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081412/54486e3cb1af9f90298b4c99/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Thermal Transitions• Heat Distortion Temperature (HDT)
• Glass transition temperature (Tg)
• Melting point (Tm)
• Decomposition temperature (Td)

The Great Dilemma in Polymers
• Polymers must have good properties– Good properties are
favored by high molecular weight
• Polymers must have good processing– Good processing is
favored by low molecular weight

The Great Dilemma In Polymers
• Thermoplastics meet the dilemma by compromise– High enough molecular weight to get adequate
properties– Low enough molecular weight to process OK
• Thermosets meet the dilemma by crosslinking– Low molecular weight initially (for wetout and
processing) followed by curing to increase molecular weight
– No compromise is required
![Page 24: 02 Composite Resins (2)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081412/54486e3cb1af9f90298b4c99/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Polymers − Molecular shape• Aromatic − Contains the benzene group
(sometimes called phenyl group)– Named aromatic because it tends to have a strong
smell (like styrene)– Increases stiffness– Increases strength– Increases non-flammability
• Aliphatic −Does not contain the benzene group– Increases flexibility– Increases toughness– Increases weatherability

Bonding
• Bonding is strongest when electrons are:– Transferred (ceramics)– Shared by many atoms (metals)– Shared by two atoms (covalent)
• Weak bonding occurs without electrons being transferred or shared
• These weak bonds depend upon polarity

Bonding in polymers by polarity
• Polar areas on the polymers attract other polar areas on other molecules.– Opposite charges attract– The most electronegative atoms are those
that cause polarity– The electronegative atoms are: F, O, N, Cl– These are all in the upper right corner of the
periodic table
• Non-polar areas attract other non-polar areas
