Week 4 Composites 1

This document discusses the classification of polymer matrix composites. It identifies six main criteria for classification: (1) the number of components, (2) the nature of the components, (3) the macromolecular interactions between components, (4) the state of the composite, (5) the production methods, and (6) the types of fibers used as reinforcement materials. It focuses on the last criterion, describing three main types of fiber reinforced polymers: glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites, aramid fiber reinforced polymer (AFRP) composites, and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites.

Polymer matrix composites (PMCs)


Polymers matrix composites,
(PMC)
CLASSIFICATION OF POLYMERIC
COMPOSITE MATERIALS

• According to the literature, the main criteria for


the classification of polymer composites are:
1- According the number of components
• the existence of at least two components.
• In composite structure, besides polymers, micro
molecular substances can be included.
CLASSIFICATION OF POLYMERIC
COMPOSITE MATERIALS

2- According nature of components


• Depending on the nature of components, polymer
composites can be systems of: polymer-polymer
• synthetic polymer-synthetic polymer,
• natural polymer-synthetic polymer,
• natural polymer natural polymer
• polymer-inorganic compounds;
• polymer-organic compounds;
• polymer-metal.
CLASSIFICATION OF POLYMERIC
COMPOSITE MATERIALS
• 3- According macromolecular interactions system
• In terms of interactions between components, polymer composites can be:
a) natural composites (interpolymeric complex) characterized by the fact:
that physical links (ionic, hydrogen, van der Waals, etc.) between components
occur;
b) Chemical composites characterized by the fact
that covalent bonds are established between compounds;
c) physicochemical composites or interpenetrated
• networks (IPN) (Tang et al., 2008),
Partially interpenetrated (semi-IPN) or totally interpenetrated (full-IPN).

In full-IPN polymer composites, The chains of one component (cross-linked or not


by covalent bonds) are "fixed" in the reticular structure of the second component.
CLASSIFICATION OF POLYMERIC
COMPOSITE MATERIALS
• 4 According to the state of the composite : solid, quasi-solid
(gel), liquid (composite solutions).
• 5-According to the methods and processes for achieving
mixtures
• At the molecular level, the mixing of two macromolecular
compounds can be achieved through the following methods:
• melt mixing;
• solutions mixing;
• solution mixing and drying;
• solution mixing followed by freeze-drying, coprecipitation.
