Polymer matrix composite
Across
- 2. A long, continuous fiber used in some PMC manufacturing processes.
- 3. A key property of PMCs, often higher than the matrix material alone.
- 5. The fibers in a PMC, which provide strength and stiffness.
- 7. A material made from two or more constituent materials with different properties.
- 9. A common thermoset resin used as a matrix in PMCs.
- 10. A type of polymer used as the matrix in PMCs.
- 12. Another significant industry where PMCs are used, particularly in body panels.
- 13. A key industry that utilizes PMCs for lightweight structures.
- 14. PMCs are known for their resistance to this type of degradation.
- 15. PMCs are known for their lightweight nature, offering advantages in many applications.
- 16. A primary component of a PMC, providing strength and stiffness.
Down
- 1. A type of fiber often used in PMCs for high strength.
- 3. A material's resistance to bending or deformation.
- 4. A type of polymer that undergoes a chemical change when heated and cannot be reshaped.
- 6. A large molecule composed of repeating units, often used as the matrix in composites.
- 8. The ability of a material to absorb energy before fracturing.
- 11. The substance that holds the fibers together in a PMC.
