Plastic Composites Testing Instruments

Polymer and plastic composites are plastics that are strengthened with fibres, fillers, particulates, powders, and other matrix reinforcements to provide improved strength and stiffness. The products include fibre reinforced plastics (FRPs), sheet moulding compounds (SMCs), bulk moulding compounds (BMCs), pre-preg materials, and fabricated composite parts. Polymer and plastic composites vary in terms of features. Products that are designed for electrical and electronics applications provides security against electrostatic discharge (ESD), electromagnetic interference (EMI), and radiofrequency interference (RFI). Materials that are electrically conductive or resistive are also available. Polymer and plastic composites use a phase change to provide enhanced thermal characteristics. A plastic composite is moisture-resistant and rot-resistant, meaning that it will last aesthetically and integrally longer than normal wood. Thermoplastic composites include glass mat thermoplastics (GMT), weave-reinforced GMTs, low-density composites, and composite sandwich panels. Manufacturers must test the quality of plastic composites using appropriate testing instruments such as Plastic Composites Testing Instruments.
