Environmental consideration abrasion

There are many matrix choices available and different types have different impact on the processing techniques, physical and mechanical properties and environmental resistance of the finished composites. In selecting matrix material, some factors may be taken into consideration like (1) the matrix must be easy to use in the selected fabrication process, (2) the resultant composite should be cost effective, (3) the matrix is be able to withstand service conditions, viz., temperature, humidity, exposure to ultraviolet environment, exposure to chemical atmosphere, abrasion by dust particles, etc.
