About Textile Composites

Textile composites are fiber-reinforced composite materials, the reinforcement being in the form of a textile fabric (woven, knitted, braided). Composite materials are engineered materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different mechanical properties and which remain separate and distinct within the finished structure. The use of natural composite materials has been a part of man’s Technology since the first ancient builder used Straw to reinforce mud bricks. There are two categories of constituent materials 1) Matrix 2) Reinforcement. Matrix holds the reinforcements in an orderly pattern.
