Composite solids include high-strength fiber-reinforced polymers for golf clubs and tennis rackets flexible barriers, such as GoreTex jackets, that repel water droplets, but which permit the passage of air and controlled dmg-release devices, which will be discussed in section 11.4.

In fiber-reinforced composites the deformation of the matrix is then used to transfer stresses by means of shear tractions at the fiber-matrix interface, to the embedded high-strength fibers. On the other hand, fibers retard the propagation of cracks and thus produce a material of high strength. 

What do we think of when we hear fiber Clothing, certainly, and other textiles such as sheets and blankets, curtains and upholstery. Some fiber goes into carpeting—for offices, homes, automobiles, and recreational vehicles. Automobile, truck, and bus tires are strengthened with the use of fibers called cords. Some fiber is used for industrial purposes such as insulation and filtration. Hollow fibers that act as membranes are used in the desalination of seawater by reverse osmosis and in kidney dialysis. As we have already seen, extremely high-strength fibers are used to make bulletproof safety equipment and to reinforce polymers for high performance ap-... 

The generally low-specific gravity and high strength of reinforcement fibers such as glass, aramid, carbon, and graphite can provide other benefits. For example, the toughness of these fibers allows them to be molded into very thin constructions. Each have special characteristics,... 

Reinforced pol)nners are those to which fibers have been added that increase the physical properties—especially impact resistance and heat deflection temperatures. Glass fibers are the most common additions, but carbon, graphite, aramid, and boron fibers are also used. In a reinforced polymer, the resin matrix is the continuous phase, and the fiber reinforcement is the discontinuous phase. The function of the resin is to bond the fibers together to provide shape and form and to transfer stresses in the structure from the resin to the fiber. Only high-strength fibers with high modulus are used. Because of the increased stiffness resulting from the fiber... 

Young s modulus of matrix and reinforcement. If a matrix is reinforced with high modulus, high strength fibers then more of the stress can be carried by the fibers.

Adhesives that bond well to the base resin can be used to bond plastics reinforced with such materials as glass fibers or synthetic high-strength fibers. 

WITH the easy-processing properties in the liquid crystalline phase, main-chain TLCPs have been widely used as high-strength fiber, fiber reinforcement, in situ reinforcement additive, and injection molded articles, etc, [ 1 -4]. The successful applications are quite dependent on the adhesion at interface of the liquid crystalline polymer and the conventional engineering resin, which is indeed affected by surface tension and/or interfacial tension between the two phases [1-2],... 

MSE walls are a kind of reinforced earth-retaining structure. By installing multiple layers of high-strength fibers inside of the fill section, the friction and interlock mechanism between the fibers and backfilled soil will effectively restrict the lateral deflection of the filled soil body. Hence, the MSE wall is a compacted soil body acting as one gravity wall. Because every bit of the MSE waU material is reinforced-compacted soil, this system should be used on topography fill locations only.
