Abstract:Matrices are essentially binders for the reinforcements of composite material. Appropriate selection of fine chemicals is vital for the creation of desired matrices for generating composite materials. In fact, matrix is a subclass of a composite material. Matrices are generally of four kinds such as (i) polymer (hard as well as flexible), (ii) metal, (iii) ceramic, and (iv) cement. Each type of these subclasses of the matrix is discussed with a brief of their pros and cons. Polymer matrices are generally organ… Show more
