• epoxy

• glass fiber

what kind of force does tension have

• outward

• inward

• stretching

• oriented strand board (OSB)

Composites are ______ joined

• mechanically

• chemically

what is a matrix

• fibers that give the composite strength

• material that retains its own structure

• working together of reinforcements and heat

• continuous portion of the composites

what is reinforcement

• fibers or particles that give the composites strength,stiffness and density

• a composite with different sets of properties than its constituent materials

• decrease in cracking by distributing stress evenly

• fillers added to save money or modify properties

Which is NOT a type of reinforcement
