WHAT IS COMPOSITE TYPES OF COMPOSITE
MATRERIALS? MATERIALS

USES OF COMPOSITE
MATERIALS
A composite material is a
structural material formed
by combining two or more
materials with different
physical properties,
producing a complex
mixture

The composite material

produced will have
different properties far
more superior to the
original materials

 In the medical field:
to replace organs in
the form of plastic
composite organ

Uses of
composite
Car part now use material
composite material Stronger buildings
instead iron and are built by using
steel. this increase reinforce concrete
the speed of the car
and fuel saver

REINFORCED CONCRETE

Construction of framework
for highways, bridges and
high-rise buildings
SUPERCONDUCTOR

To make more efficient

generators, transformers, electric
cable, amplifiers, computer parts,
stronger and lighter
electromagnets.
 FIBRE OPTICS

Transmit data in the form of

light in telecommunications.
 FIBREGLASS

Water and food storage

containers, boats, swimming
pool linings, fishing rods, car
bodies and roofing.
PHOTOCHROMICGLASS

Photochromic optical lens, camera

lens, car windshields, optical
switches, information display
panels and light intensity meters.
