matriisimateriaalit
Matriisimateriaalit, often translated as matrix materials, refer to the continuous phase within a composite material. This phase, typically a polymer, metal, or ceramic, surrounds and supports the reinforcing phase, which can be fibers, particles, or flakes. The matrix material plays a crucial role in determining the overall properties of the composite, including its strength, stiffness, toughness, and thermal and electrical conductivity.
In polymer matrix composites (PMCs), polymers like epoxies, polyesters, or thermoplastics serve as the matrix. These
The selection of the matrix material depends heavily on the intended application and the desired performance
