WHAT ARE COMPOSITE MATERIALS
1. A composite materials (or composite) is a structure of
materials that is formed by twoor more different substances such as metal, glass, ceramic and polymer.
2.Some common composite materials are:
a.Reinforces concrete
b.Superconductor
c.Fibre optic
d.Fibre glass
e. Photochromic glass
REINFORCES CONCRETE
1.Concrete is hard, fireproof,
waterproof, comparatively cheap and easy to maintain. It ismore important
construction materials.
2.The reinforces is a combination of concrete and steel.
SUPERCONDUCTOR
1.Metal such as copper and aluminium are good conductor of
electricity, but 20% of theelectric energy is
lost in the form of heat during transmission.
2.Super conductor are materials that have no resistance to the flow of electricity at a particular
temperature. Hence, 100% electricity transmission is possible.
3.One of the most dramatic properties of a superconductor is its ability to levitate amagnet.
Superconductor are used to build magnetically levitate high-speed train (atabout 552 km/h).
4.Superconductor are used to make chips for smaller and faster supercomputer.Superconductor
also play an important role in high speed data processing in internetcommunication
FIBRE OPTIC
1.Fibre optic is a composite material that in used to transmit signals for light wave.
2.Fibre optic is used in
a.Telecommunicate where the telephone substation are liked by fibre optic cables.
b.Domestic cable television network
c.Closed circuit television security system.
3.Fibre optic also used in medical fields. It is used in a number of instrument whichenable the
investigation for internal body part without having to perform surgery.
