Have studied the different types of matrices, its manufacturing techniques andproperties. Have a basic knowledge about the types, manufacturing process and properties ofcomposites. Have a basic knowledge about the properties of composite materials. Have a sound knowledge about the different types of whiskers.UNIT I REINFORCEMENTS 9Fibre definition, fibre flexibility; Glass fibres – types, manufacturing process, properties, glasswool forming process; Alumina fibres, mullite fibres, zirconia fibres, boron fibres, carbonfibres and graphite fibres – manufacturing techniques, properties and applications; Strengthof reinforcements.UNIT II TYPES OF MATRICES 9Introduction, types – polymer, ceramic, metal, glass, thermosetting and thermoplasticmatrices.UNIT III COMPOSITES 9Definition, classification – metal / polymer / ceramic matrix composites, particulate and fibrereinforcements – processing methods, microstructure.
