Abstract

Composites have engineering advantages over conventional materials, such as metal, wood, and leather. Polymeric composites have good tensile strength, flexural strength, compressive strength, impact strength, Young’s modulus, and rigidity coupled with high dimensional stability. Depleting natural resources and related environmental concerns—specifically in the use of wood—have forced scientists and engineers to explore more applications for advanced composites. It can be said that advanced composites have come to a level where they can replace conventional materials in most engineering applications [1, 2]. Composites have proven themselves to be the best substitute for conventional materials. The advantages of polymeric composites and their applications are discussed in detail in the following sections of this chapter.
