Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...

Composite matrix materials are engineered by combining two or more distinct substances to create a material with improved ...

Long-chain polymers offer attractive opportunities for automotive applications, because they are lightweight and easy to process, though their stiffness and impact strength must be improved ...

Abstract: Mounting theoretical and empirical evidence shows that matrix heterogeneity may have contrasting effects on metapopulation dynamics by contributing to patch isolation in nontrivial ways. We ...
