polymer matrix composite (PMC)
کامپوزیت های زمینه پلیمری (PMC)
ABSTRACT
A high-performance polymer matrix composite (PMC) consists of a thermoset or thermoplastic resin matrix reinforced by fibers that are much stronger and stiffer than the matrix.1 Structural fibers that may be used as the reinforcement phase include carbon, aramid, glass, and many others. PMCs are attractive because they are lighter, stronger, and stiffer than conventional materials, with the additional advantage that their properties and form can be tailored to meet the needs of a specific application. Depending on the characteristics of the resin matrix and fiber reinforcements, PMCs may also be tailored to exhibit such properties as high thermal or electrical conductivity, stealth characteristics, and sensor capabilities.
