Question
Chapter 11, Problem 11.1QP
To determine
What is composite material and list some composite materials.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Composite material:
It is defined as two or more materials that form the material with required properties. The conventional materials may not have the specific properties that are essential in the industry. Composite materials exhibit qualities that do not exist in their constituents.
Some common composite materials used in our daily life are vinyl ester, fiber glass, cultured marble sinks, polyester, imitation granite, etc.
