A fiber is a composite material that has been drawn into a long and thin filament.
Classifications:
- Glass fibers.
- Armid fibers.
- Carbon fibers.
Glass fibers:
- E- glass fiber (Electrical)
- S-glass fiber (High strength)
E-glass fiber:
The composition of E-glass ranges from 8-13% , 12-16% , 16-25% CaO, .
1. Its tensile strength is about 3.44GPa.
2. It is used for continuous fibers.
S-glass fiber:
Composition are 10% Mgo, 25% , 65% .
1. Its tensile strength is over 650 Ksi.
2. Used in military applications.
Armid fibers:
1. It is characterized by low density and high strength.
2. It is used as ballistic protection, ropes and cables.
Carbon fibers:
Composite materials made by during carbon fibers for reinforcing plastic resin matrices such as epoxy are characterized by having a combination of light weight, high stiffness and high strength.
