Strangely enough the world in which everyone lives is constructed with composites. When a person hears that word lots of ideas come to mind, but none of them come close to what they really are. Nearly every home in the nation has been constructed with some type of composite materials. Homes that are being built today will probably contain one or more forms of these materials, before they are completed.
People walk on this material all day long, and never give it a second thought. They sat on this material and even purchase it from their local home furnishing store. Many cars are made with this important material, and it cost less than their counterparts. What exactly is this product that the world cannot live without? It is the glue that keeps the driveway together. Materials such as concrete and bricks fall into this category.
Two or more of these materials can be combined or bonded to create a single durable substance. A good example of this would be steel and concrete. This duo combination is useful in the making of large buildings and city and state bridges. Their combined strength enables vehicles of massive weight to drive across the pathways without the fear of the bridge crumbling to pieces.
The materials are made up of two important elements, a binder, and reinforcement. The binder works as an organizer to get everything in line, and the reinforcement works more like a stabilizer. It is usually harder and firmer than a binding substance. Another perfect example of how these materials work together can be found in every product on the market, from sporting good supplies to basketball goals. Basketballs are made from one or more combined elements that gives it the tough exterior, and bouncy reinforcement. The goal is made up of substance and so is the net the ball goes through.
With all due respect man has only improved and expanded the substance that has already been uncovered. These elements have been around for centuries, and probably under an assumed name. These materials are not new to some people, but to others it is something they knew very little about.
