Composites. The history of phenoHc resin composites goes back to the early development of phenoHc materials, when wood flour, minerals, and colorants were combined with phenoHc resins to produce mol ding compounds. In later appHcations, resin varnishes were developed for kraft paper and textile fabrics to make decorative and industrial laminates. Although phenoHcs have been well characterized in glass-reinforced composites, new developments continue in this area, such as new systems for Hquid-injection molding (LIM) and sheet-molding compounds (SMC). More compHcated composite systems are based on aramid and graphite fibers. 

Synthetic fiber (man-made fiber) n. A class name for various fibers (including filaments), distinguished from natural fibers such as wool and cotton, produced from fiber-forming substances which may be (1) Modified or transformed natural polymer, e.g., alginic and cellulose-based fibers such as acetates and rayon s. (2) Polymers synthesized from chemical compounds, e.g., acrylic, nylon, polyester, polyurethane, polyethylene, polyvinyl, and carbon/graphite fibers. (3) Fibers of mineral origin, e.g., glass, quartz, boron, and alumina.
