    Types of Polymer Matrix

    Types of Polymer Matrix

    Elliot Fleet 5th July 2019

    There are many different types of polymers that can be used as a matrix for composite materials. In this explainer, we’ll look at ways in which these materials can be categorised and highlight the key differences between them. Let’s start with perhaps the most fundamental categorisation… Thermoplastic or Thermosetting? Thermoplastic Thermoplastics can be heated and […]
