Chapter 3

Assignment 1
1. Discuss with the line diagram the fabrication of polymer, ceramic and metal
composite?

2. Discuss the application of composite pertaining to civil engineering, mechanical


engineering, electrical and electronics engineering, biotechnology, information
technology, textile and instrumentation?

Composites are increasingly being used in a wide range of applications across


various industries. Here are some examples of how composites are used in various
fields:

1. Civil Engineering: Composites are used in civil engineering applications such as


bridges, buildings, and infrastructure. For example, composite reinforcement bars
(rebars) can be used in place of traditional steel rebar to improve the strength,
durability, and corrosion resistance of concrete structures.

2. Mechanical Engineering: Composites are commonly used in mechanical engineering


applications such as aerospace, automotive, and sports equipment. Carbon fiber
composites, for example, are used in aircraft components, race car bodies, and high-
performance bicycle frames.

3. Electrical and Electronics Engineering: Composites are used in electrical and


electronics applications such as printed circuit boards, antennas, and insulation.
Glass fiber-reinforced composites are commonly used in printed circuit boards due to
their excellent electrical insulation properties.

4. Biotechnology: Composites are used in biotechnology applications such as


prosthetics and implants. For example, carbon fiber composites are used in
prosthetic limbs due to their strength, lightweight, and durability

5. Information Technology: Composites are used in information technology applications


such as computer casings, keyboards, and displays. Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer
composites are commonly used in computer casings due to their strength and
lightweight properties.

6. Textile: Composites are used in textile applications such as sports equipment,


protective clothing, and medical devices. For example, composite materials made
from aramid fibers are used in bulletproof vests and protective clothing for firefighters
and other emergency responders.

7. Instrumentation: Composites are used in instrumentation applications such as


sensors, measurement devices, and calibration standards. For example, carbon fiber
composites can be used in high-precision measurement devices due to their low
thermal expansion and high stiffness properties.

In summary, composites have a wide range of applications across various industries due to
their unique properties, including strength, lightweight, durability, and excellent electrical and
thermal insulation properties. The use of composites is expected to continue to grow as new
materials and manufacturing techniques are developed to improve their performance and
reduce their cost.
