1. Discover The True Potential Of Durability
With Composites
Many different techniques are used in the creation of various building and
products. The key objective is to pinpoint the most important physical properties as
required by the application, and to identify the material that best meets the
physical property requirements at the optimal price point. Durability has always
been a major focus of any material in any application. Before, certain elements and
materials have been rated as more or less durable and therefore selected for
certain projects.

2. More recently, it has been discovered that
some of the already existing materials can
be combined in such a way as to
emphasize the best features out of both
of the original materials. These newly
created materials from combining two or
more materials are known as composite
materials. For example, one of the most
common composites which we encounter
constantly in our daily lives is concrete.
Concrete is a blend between steel rebar
and cured cement. These two
components, once combined, create a
powerful new material, which has the
strength of steel rebar, as well as the
stability and stiffness of cement at the
same time.
Which materials are combined to be
composites?
Fiber reinforced plastics are one of the
most commonly employed composite
materials in industry today.

3. The most widespread kinds of these plastics are fiberglass, boron and basalt fiber, carbon
fibers, aramid fibers and boron fibers as well. You may recognize some of them, especially
the carbon fibers, which are a very common component of composite materials due to their
amazing ability to strengthen a material. These are used to build interior seats for sports
cars and the dashboard panels and countless other applications.
The reasons composites are used so often is because by combining two separate materials,
The reasons composites are used so often is because by combining two separate materials,
if successful, the new material can combine the strengths and best qualities of the original
materials resulting in a better, stronger material. These methods are also used to minimize
or eliminate any of the weaknesses of one of the original materials. For example, some
materials may be prone to corrosion, which may make them an undesirable choice. If
combined with another material that is resistant to corrosion, the resulting material may
completely eliminate any corrosion concerns. The same can be said for increasing a
material’s durability. The main reason composites are created is to emphasize certain
material’s strengths, and to improve their performance and make them much more
applicable to a wide variety of applications and industry.
