Composites, the wonder material with lightweight, high strength to-weight ratio and high stiffness have come a long way in replacing conventional materials like metals, wood etc. Composites offer significant advantages over metals in many structural applications due to the flexibility of selecting various combinations of fibrous reinforcement and resin matrix. Due to their light weight coupled with high strength, composites can replace wooden & metallic parts in transportation (automotive & railways), contributing to energy savings.
Composites bestowed with unique advantages, as mentioned earlier, drew attention from the developed world towards novel applications. The consumption of composites increased manifold in the last two decades, in industrial & consumer applications.
