Introduction to composite materials
Definition of Composite Materials
A composite:
 a solid material has two or more distinct
constituents (要素, 物质) or phases
 composite properties are different from the
properties of constituents
 Synthetic composites: composite produced by
intimately mixing and combining the constituents
by various means
Introduction to composite materials
Definition of Composite Materials
 (a) Non-Composite: micrograph of a steel with 0.45wt%C (ferrite
and pearlite microstructure)
 (b) Synthetic-Composite: SEM of an Al alloy reinforced with SiC
particles

Definition of Composite Materials
 In nature:
 a palm leaf, cellulose (纤维素) fibers in a lignin (木质素)
matrix (wood),
 Composite Examples
 adding straw to mud for building stronger mud walls,
 carbon black in rubber,
 steel rods in concrete,
 cement mixed with sand,
 fiberglass in resin etc.

History of composite materials
Introduction to composite materials
Classification of composite materials
The main functions of the reinforcement (fibers):
 To carry the load, about 70-90% of load is carried
by fibers.
 To provide stiffness, strength, thermal stability in
composite.
 All fibres are strong in their longitudinal direction.
The material properties perpendicular to the fibre
direction are not as good.
Introduction to composite materials
Classification of composite materials
The main functions of the matrix
 To transfer stresses to the fibres by adhesion
and/or friction across the fibre-matrix interface
when the composite is under load.
 To bind together the fibres and to protect their
surface from damages during handling,
fabrication and the service life of the composites.
 To disperse the fibres and maintain the desired
fibre orientation and spacing.
Introduction to composite materials
Markets
Main users of composites
 The aerospace industry is the largest user of composites
 Construction and civil structures is next one, such as, glasscarbon-reinforced plastics for bridges
 The automotive industry, such as seat, load floor
 The sporting goods industry, such as golf shafts, tennis rackets,
 Marine application, such as power boats
 consumer goods, such as, doors, bathtubs, table, chairs
 General Industry, such as industrial rollers and shafts
Main reason is the reduce in price, For example, carbon fiber

Applications in Aerospace Industry
Structures of Materials
Materials properties are determined by three levels
of structures:
 Atomic structure and bonding in solid

Arrangement of individual atoms, ions or molecules
 Crystalline & non-crystalline structures
 Orders of many atoms, ions or molecules
 Microstructure

Structural features which can be observed using optical or
electron microscope - dimensions at micro-level

Atomic structure - Bohr
atomic model
Electrons revolve in
different shells;
 Each shell can only have
a certain number of
electrons;
2, 8, 18, ….
Mg
Electrons revolve around
nucleus in discrete orbits.
An orbit defines position of
an electron.

Valence electron
 The electrons on the outmost shell
 Participate in the bonding between atoms



If the outer shell is full, element is stable (inert gas).
If the outer shell has a couple of electrons (far from full),
then these electrons are easy to escape; (metals)
If the outer shell is almost full, then it is easy to attract
Cl
electrons; (non-metals)

Atomic structure & bonding in solids
Primary bonding: Metallic
bonding:
 formation of an electron sea
 Metallic bond is non-
directional.
 Metals are good conductors
because of the free
electrons.
 Metals are ductile at room
temperature, also a result of
the metallic bonding.

Primary bonding: Ionic bonding
 Ionic bonding: metal + nonmetal
 The attractive forces are
coulombic.
 The bonding is directional.
 Most of ceramics is ionic in

Primary bonding:
Covalent bonding
 Sharing of electrons

 Covalent bond is
