[COMPOSITE QUESTIONNAIRE]
NOTE: Strictly no erasures.
Test I (ENUMERATION)
STRAW BRICKS 1. The common composite and used as construction material.
MONGOLS 2. Called “modern” composite bow.
SNOW 3. Easy to cut and surprisingly sturdy, and snow blocks are also pretty lightweight.
REINFORCED PLASTICS 4. A composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres.
REINFORCED CONCRETE 5. A composite material in which concrete’s relatively low tensile strength
and ductility are counteracted by the inclusion of reinforcement having higher tensile strength or ductility.
POLYMER MATRIX 6. A large molecule composed of repeating structural units connected by covalent
chemical bonds.
MUSCLE OF HUMAN BODY 7. An excellent example of natural composite.
POLYMER MATRIX 8. They are cheaper with easier fabrication methods.
MATRIX 9. Transfer stress to other phases.
PARTICLE – REINFORCED 10. Less effective means of strengthening than fibre reinforcement.
MAXIMUM STRENGTH 11. Obtained when long fibres are oriented parallel to the applied load.
SANDWICH PANEL.12. Structure made of three layers: a low-density core, and a thin skin-layer
bonded to each side.
PARTICULATE COMPOSITES 13. Composted of particles distributed or embedded in a matrix body.
FIBRE- REINFORCED 14. Consists of three components: the fibres as the discontinuous or dispersed
phase, the matrix as the continuous phase, and the fine interphase region, also known as the interface.
CONCRETE 15. Where the aggregates (sand and gravel) are the particles and the cement is the matrix.
