COMPOSITE MATERIALS
Chapter 16-
Definition of Composite Materials
• It contains two or more physically distinct and
mechanically separable materials
• It is made by dispersing one material in the other in a
controlled way to achieve optimum properties
• The properties of the composite are superior and
possibly unique in some specific respects to the
properties of individual components
Professor Derek Hull
University of Liverpool
Chapter 16- 2
• Composites:
--Multiphase material w/significant
proportions of ea. phase.
• Matrix:
--The continuous phase
--Purpose is to:
transfer stress to other phases
protect phases from environment
--Classification: MMC, CMC, PMC
• Dispersed phase:
--Purpose: enhance matrix properties.
MMC: increase sy, TS, creep resist.
CMC: increase Kc
PMC: increase E, sy, TS, creep resist.
--Classification: Particle, fiber, structural
metal ceramic polymer

Chapter 16-
Glass Fibers
• Glass is an amorphous material that consists of a silica
(SiO2) backbone with various oxide components to
give specific compositions and properties.
• Types: E-glass, S-glass, C-glass, quartz
• E-glass: calcium aluminoborosilicate with 2% alkali;
good strength and electrical resistivity; the least
expensive one
• S-glass: 40% higher than E-glass; high temp
application
• C-glass: soda limeborosilicate; use in corrosive
environments
• Quartz: low dielectric; use for protecting antennas and
radomes
Chapter 16-
Properties of Glass Fibers
Chapter 16-
Chapter 16-
Use of Glass Fibers
• Tensile strength is highly dependent on surface
defects. The shorter the sample, the higher the value.
• Moisture has a detrimental effect on strengths
• Temperature has profound impact on strength and
modulus. The higher the temperature, the lower the
strength (E-glass will be lower than S-glass). The
higher the temperature, the higher the tensile modulus
(E and S are about the same)
Chapter 16-
Surface Treatments
• Glass fibers are very brittle and susceptible
to developing tiny cracks when processed
lead to premature failure
• Sizing effect – a thin temporary water
soluble coating
• Coupling agent – Silanes

Carbon/Graphite Fibers
• Three precursors: polyacrylonitrile (PAN),
Rayon, and mesophase pitch fibers, stretched
and heated at 350o
C then 1000o

• CVD method: Pyrolytic deposition (via
methane, benzene and naphthalene) at 1000o

Organic Fibers
• Para-phenylene diamine and terephthaloyl chloride are mixed in
an organic solvent to form poly paraphenyleneterephthalamide.
• Developed from aromatic polyamides, also known as aramid
fibers
• Manufactured by E.I. Du Pont with a trade name – Kevlar
• It is fully aligned and closely packed
• The polymer is washed and then dissolved in sulfuric acid. 20
wt% polymer solution is then passed through an extruder and
spinnerettes to develop a high degree of orientation (liquid crystal
form; process patented)
• Four types of aramid fibers: kevlar®, Kevlar 29 (high toughness),
kevlar 49 (high modulus) and kevlar 149 (ultra-high modulus)
• Kevlar fibers are less brittle than carbon or glass fibers, however, a
combination of good strength, light weight and excellent
toughness has led to the unique applications for aramid composites

Inorganic Fibers
• A class of short crystalline fibers, often called crystal
whisker fibers
• Made of aluminum oxide, beryllium oxide, magnesium
oxide, potassium titanate, silicon carbide, silicon nitride,
titanium boride, etc.
• Boron and silicon carbide fibers are popular because
they offer very high tensile strength and modulus.
• Boron fibers are considered amorphous (crystal structure
is small), but SiC has a much larger crystal structure.
• Boron fibers have a surface structure like scale or
corncob appearance. SiC fibers have a smoother surface
than boron.
• Boron composites have excellent tensile property
retention with increasing temperature
Chapter 16-
Boron/Silicon Carbide
• Boron trichloride interacts with the tungsten filament to form
tungsten borides, simultaneous bonded with the deposited boron
coated layers.
• Silicon carbide, a structure similar to diamond, offers a low
density, high stiffness, high strength and excellent thermal
stability and thermal conductivity properties.
• Growth from a melt --whisker form – defect free, single crystal
rod, 0.1-1μm in diameter
• CVD on fine carbon (30 μm) or tungsten (10 μm) fiber core to
yield a large-diameter SiC monofilament fiber (100-150 μm)
• Developed from polycarbosilane (PCS) precursor, stretched and
heated at 1300oC .

Thermal Stability of Fibers
• Carbon fibers can be used in high temperatures (above
2000o
C) in which the oxidizing environments are
absent.
• The strength and modulus of silica based glass fibers
decrease rapidly above 250o
C and have a softening
point around 850o
C. Aramid fibers are worse than
carbon and glass fibers at high temperatures. Aramid
fibers can be attacked by UV lights as well.
• Inorganic fibers (Al2O3 and SiC) can sustain much
higher temperatures (above 2500o
C)
Chapter 16-
Flexibility
• The flexibility of a fiber, defined as k/M,
can be expressed in moment, M.
• Where E is the tensile modulus, d is the
fiber diameter and k is the reciprocal of the
radius of the curvature

Matrices
• Thermosetting polymeric resins – epoxy, polyester,
phenolics, polurethane, polyimides
• Thermoplastic resins – polyamide (nylon),
polypropylene (PP), poly ether ether ketone (PEEK)
• Elastomers – silicone, neoprene (CR), NBR, SBR
• Metal matrix
• Ceramic matrix

The Rule of Mixtures
• Density
c= Vmm +Vf f
• Thermal Conductivity
Kc= Vm Km+Vf Kf
• Electrical Conductivity
sc= Vmsm+Vf sf
Chapter 16-
Modulus of Elasticity (iso-strain)
• When a stress is applied parallel to the fiber
orientation direction, the modulus of the
elasticity of the composite can be expressed
as
Ec= Vm Em+Vf Ef (to be derived later)
Since the matrix contributes little to the
stiffness of the composite, the modulus can
be simplified as
Ec =Vf Ef
Chapter 16-
Modulus of Elasticity (iso-stress)
• When a stress is applied perpendicular to
the fiber orientation direction
• The modulus of the composite is expressed
as

Iso-Strain Loading
Force is applied along the axis of the fibers
The total force is the sum of all forces carried by
matrix and fibers
Fc = Fm +Ff
Since F =sA, scAc= smAm+ sfAf
sc =smVm+sfVf (assuming uniform cross-section,
area fraction is the same as volume fraction)
Iso-strain condition, c = f = m
Ec=VmEm+VfEf

(the strains are no longer equal – each component
acts independently)

aluminum for an engineering application. Use the
table provided below to calculate the density,
modulus of elasticity, and tensile strength long the
fiber orientation. Also estimate the modulus of
elasticity if the load is to be applied perpendicular
to the fibers.

From the rule of mixture
For density:
c= Vmm +Vf f
c= (0.6) (2.7)+(0.4) (2.36) = 2.56 g/cc
For modulus:
Ec= Vm Em+Vf Ef
Ec= (0.6) (10 x 106) +(0.4) (55 x 106)= 28 x 106 psi
For tensile strength:
UTS = (0.6) (5,000) +(0.4) (400,000) = 163,000 psi

Example 2
E-glass fibers are used to reinforce nylon in
an industrial application. If the nylon
contains 30 vol% glass fibers, what fraction
of the applied force is carried by the glass
fibers? (The modulus of elasticity for E-
glass fibers and nylon are 10.5 x106 psi and
0.4 x106 psi, respectively)
Chapter 16-
Assume equal strain (iso-strain) condition
Why? If the bonding is good, the composite should
yield only one strain value.

How about particle reinforcement?
• The formula will have to be modified.
• Kc is an empirical constant. If its value is smaller
than one, then the equal (iso) strain condition can’t
be applied.
• Kc and Ks are different constants, both are
determined in the lab

Deformation Mechanisms in Composites
Parallel to fiber orientation:
• Stage I: Strain is small, fibers and matrix both elongate
(or deform) elastically
Fibers carry the load, EcVfEf
• Stage II: Incompatibility of the lateral matrix and fiber
deformation strains
Matrix deforms plastically; Fibers deform
elastically
• Stage III: Fiber deformed plastically before fracture
(found in metallic fibers)
Both matrix and fibers deform plastically
Chapter 16-
Reinforcement with Discontinuous Fibers
• Fiber midpoint offers the lowest shear stress
and highest highest tensile stress
• Fibers have to reach a critical aspect ratio
(lc/df), equal strain condition

  • 11. Chapter 16- Glass Fibers • Glass is an amorphous material that consists of a silica (SiO2) backbone with various oxide components to give specific compositions and properties. • Types: E-glass, S-glass, C-glass, quartz • E-glass: calcium aluminoborosilicate with 2% alkali; good strength and electrical resistivity; the least expensive one • S-glass: 40% higher than E-glass; high temp application • C-glass: soda limeborosilicate; use in corrosive environments • Quartz: low dielectric; use for protecting antennas and radomes
  • 14. Chapter 16- Use of Glass Fibers • Tensile strength is highly dependent on surface defects. The shorter the sample, the higher the value. • Moisture has a detrimental effect on strengths • Temperature has profound impact on strength and modulus. The higher the temperature, the lower the strength (E-glass will be lower than S-glass). The higher the temperature, the higher the tensile modulus (E and S are about the same)
  • 15. Chapter 16- Surface Treatments • Glass fibers are very brittle and susceptible to developing tiny cracks when processed lead to premature failure • Sizing effect – a thin temporary water soluble coating • Coupling agent – Silanes

  • 25. Chapter 16- Inorganic Fibers • A class of short crystalline fibers, often called crystal whisker fibers • Made of aluminum oxide, beryllium oxide, magnesium oxide, potassium titanate, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, titanium boride, etc. • Boron and silicon carbide fibers are popular because they offer very high tensile strength and modulus. • Boron fibers are considered amorphous (crystal structure is small), but SiC has a much larger crystal structure. • Boron fibers have a surface structure like scale or corncob appearance. SiC fibers have a smoother surface than boron. • Boron composites have excellent tensile property retention with increasing temperature
  • 26. Chapter 16- Boron/Silicon Carbide • Boron trichloride interacts with the tungsten filament to form tungsten borides, simultaneous bonded with the deposited boron coated layers. • Silicon carbide, a structure similar to diamond, offers a low density, high stiffness, high strength and excellent thermal stability and thermal conductivity properties. • Growth from a melt --whisker form – defect free, single crystal rod, 0.1-1μm in diameter • CVD on fine carbon (30 μm) or tungsten (10 μm) fiber core to yield a large-diameter SiC monofilament fiber (100-150 μm) • Developed from polycarbosilane (PCS) precursor, stretched and heated at 1300oC .

  • 29. Chapter 16- Thermal Stability of Fibers • Carbon fibers can be used in high temperatures (above 2000o C) in which the oxidizing environments are absent. • The strength and modulus of silica based glass fibers decrease rapidly above 250o C and have a softening point around 850o C. Aramid fibers are worse than carbon and glass fibers at high temperatures. Aramid fibers can be attacked by UV lights as well. • Inorganic fibers (Al2O3 and SiC) can sustain much higher temperatures (above 2500o C)
  • 30. Chapter 16- Flexibility • The flexibility of a fiber, defined as k/M, can be expressed in moment, M. • Where E is the tensile modulus, d is the fiber diameter and k is the reciprocal of the radius of the curvature

  • 35. Chapter 16- The Rule of Mixtures • Density c= Vmm +Vf f • Thermal Conductivity Kc= Vm Km+Vf Kf • Electrical Conductivity sc= Vmsm+Vf sf
  • 36. Chapter 16- Modulus of Elasticity (iso-strain) • When a stress is applied parallel to the fiber orientation direction, the modulus of the elasticity of the composite can be expressed as Ec= Vm Em+Vf Ef (to be derived later) Since the matrix contributes little to the stiffness of the composite, the modulus can be simplified as Ec =Vf Ef
  • 37. Chapter 16- Modulus of Elasticity (iso-stress) • When a stress is applied perpendicular to the fiber orientation direction • The modulus of the composite is expressed as f f m m c E V E V E 1  

  • 39. Chapter 16- Iso-Stress Loading • Force is vertically applied to the axis of the fibers (the strains are no longer equal – each component acts independently) • c=Vmm+Vff Since sc=sm=sf The modulus of the elasticity of the composite is now expressed as ) E ( ) E ( E f f f m m m c c V V s s s   ) E 1 ( V ) E 1 ( V E 1 f f m m c  
