Classification of composites

 

 

The classification of composites based on the form of reinforcement is shown in Figure 1.2. The detailed classification further is given in Figure 1.3. The classification of particulate composites is depicted further in Figure 1.4. Some of the terms used in these classifications will be explained in the following paragraphs/lectures.
