A Polymer Matrix Composite (PMC) is a material made by combining a polymer resin with reinforcing fibers, such as carbon fibers or glass fibers. This combination enhances the mechanical properties of the polymer, making it stronger, lighter, and more durable. PMCs are widely used in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and sports equipment, due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio. The polymer matrix serves as a binding agent, holding the fibers together and providing shape to the composite. Common types of polymers used in PMCs include epoxy, polyester, and vinyl ester. These materials can be tailored for specific applications, offering versatility in design and performance.
