Abstract

The Georgia Institute of Technology developed a new type of material system called 'laminated matrix', by applying thin layers of matrix materials to traditional reinforcement structures. The material system is believed to be tougher and stronger that conventional fiber-reinforced composites. With these features, these laminated matrix composites could replace metals in applications requiring high-temperature high-strength materials.
