Reinforcing agents are materials added to a composite to improve its mechanical properties, such as strength, stiffness, and durability. Common examples include fibers, such as glass or carbon, which are embedded in a matrix material like polymer or concrete. These agents help enhance the overall performance of the composite, making it suitable for various applications in industries like automotive, aerospace, and construction. The effectiveness of reinforcing agents depends on factors like their type, orientation, and distribution within the matrix. Properly designed composites can exhibit significantly improved characteristics compared to their individual components, leading to lighter, stronger, and more resilient materials for modern engineering challenges.
