Using a variety of metallic fibers and
particles, these compounds have densities
similar to traditional metals, while offering
design and processing flexibility because of the
polymer matrix, which can be extruded, molded,
calendered, or thermoformed into the final
desired shape.
Several grades
of Gravi-Tech composites used for radiation-
shielding applications provide protections similar
to traditional lead-based materials, yet these
Gravi-Tech polymer-metal composites are 37
percent lighter.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-06/2023 Advanced Composites Automotive Overview.pdf
Fiber reinforced polymer composites
are exceptional alternatives to traditional
materials such as wood, ceramic, and
metal, enabling designers to create
lighter weight structural components
for increased lifetime performance, and
improved fuel efficiency.
In combination
with other materials, CFRTP materials can be
integrated and positioned locally where needed
to achieve structural performance requirements.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
