Sometimes composites are better than the traditional material because they enhance the properties of the traditional materials.

e.g. Plastic has useful strength and ridgity, it is lightweight and is good at electrical insulation but by adding other materials you can create fibre-reinforced polymers

Why are composites more useful than the materials they are made from?

because than we can make a new material that works better than either one alone ;) from oasis 6th grade d.l. in turkey


How composites are use?

it is useful because when combining the useful properties of two or more substances in a composite, chemists can make new material that works better than either one alone


Why does some footballs have better grip than others?

Footballs have better grips than others because of the material they are made out of. A football that is made out of leather will have a better grip than a football that is made out of nylon.


What makes one material a better material than the other?

Better... for what exactly? Please note that while one material can be better for one purpose, another one may be better for a different purpose.Differences between materials are due to the different percentages of elements present in the materials, as well as to the way the atoms are arranged.


What are the implications of strengthening mechanism on engineering materials?

strengthening mechanisms reduce the stresses in the engineering material thereby increase the load bearing ability of a material, in other words its life is increased Like in case of composites (material that is made by physically combining two or more different materials) strenthening mechanism such as induced fibre enhances the mechanical properties of the material such as toughness, flexibility, hardness etc. In addition the weight of the material is also less than the very material having the same set of above mechanical properties, this advantage opens wide range of applications for composites, for example in aeroplanes, automobiles, tyres, etc


Why are composites often more useful than single materials?

Composites are often more useful than single materials because they combine the advantageous properties of different substances, resulting in enhanced performance characteristics such as increased strength, stiffness, and resistance to environmental factors. They can be tailored to meet specific requirements for weight, durability, and flexibility, making them ideal for diverse applications in industries like aerospace, automotive, and construction. Additionally, composites can often be engineered to be lighter and more cost-effective than their single-material counterparts, leading to improved efficiency and reduced material waste.


What makes the Polypro Car cover better than the others?

What are composites made of?

A composite is any material made of more than one component. Polymer composites are composites made from polymers, or from polymers along with other kinds of materials. For more information, see the Web Links to the left of this answer.


Why can a composite material be better than a pure substance?

Composite materials can offer superior strength, durability, and performance compared to pure substances by combining the beneficial properties of each component material. By utilizing a mix of materials, composites can be designed to be lighter, tougher, and more versatile for specific applications. This allows for tailoring the material to meet desired characteristics that may not be achievable with a single pure substance.


How many composites are larger than 20 but smaller than 30?

Why might a building that is made of flexible material like wood withstand the effects of an earthquake better than a building that is made of a rigid material like brick?

Rigid materials may shatter when exposed to the waves of an earthquake.
