Introduction
One of the advantage composite materials is the abimaterial is the strength can be directed in a certain directiowant. This is called “Tailoring Properties” and this is oproperties of composites as compared to other conventional
Beside strong, rigid, and lightweight composites also corrosion resistance and has resilience also to dynamic loads.

1 Tailoring by Component Selection
1.1 Polymer-Matrix CompositesEpoxy is by far the most widely used polymer
structural composites. This is due to the strong adhesivenessin addition to the long history of its use in composites. Epoxycharacterized by having two or more epoxide groups permole

• Water reducing agent – a minor additive to increase the workamix.
• Polymer (Such as latex) – to decrease liquid permeabilitystrength.
• Fine particles (such as silica fume) – to decrease liquid permeastrength and drying shrinkage, and to increase the moduluabrasion resistance.
• Short fiber (such as steel fiber) – to increase the flexural toughne
Continuous fibers are not suitable for inclusion in a cealthough they can be applied prior to cement pouring and canreinforcement.

On the other hand, macroscopic steel rebars are similar continuous microfibers and are commonly used to reinforce concr

1.3 Metal-Matrix Composites
Metal-Matrix Composite is composite material with atconstituent parts, one being a metal necessarily, the othe
may be a different metal or another material, such as ceramor organic compound.
Metal-Matrix Composites usually consist of a low-densuch as aluminum or magnesium, reinforced with particulatof a ceramic material, such as silicon carbide or graphite.
with unreinforced metals, MMCs offer higher specific strstiffness, higher operating temperature, and greater wear reswell as the opportunity to tailor these properties for a application.

Metals and ceramics tendto have very different in theirproperties, as shown in Table 6.2.Metals are electrically andthermally conductive. The thermalconductivities of aluminum andcopper (Table 6.2) are higher thanthose of any of the ceramics listed,while the electrical resistivities of aluminum and copper aremuchlower (by many orders of
magnitude) than those of any of the ceramics listed. However, mostmetals exhibit a high coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and a lowelastic modulus compared toceramics.

Compared to silicon carbide,titaniumdiboride has a higher modulus but alower thermal conductivity (Table 6.2). The highmodulus makes titanium diboride a highlyeffective reinforcing material. The addition of TiB2 to a metal greatly increases the stiffness,hardness and wear resistance and decreases theCTE, while it reduces the electrical and thermalconductivity much less than the addition of mostother ceramic fillers.

2 Tailoring by Interface Modification
2.1 Interface Bond Modification
a. General Concepts
Effective reinforcement requires good bonding between the filler anespecially for short fibers. For an ideally unidirectional composite (i.e., oncontinuous fibers all aligned in the same direction) containing fibers with a mmuch higher than that of the matrix, the longitudinal tensile strength is quiteof the fiber –matrix bonding, but the transverse tensile strength and the flex
(for bending in the longitudinal or transverse directions) increase with incrmatrix bonding.On the other hand, excessive fiber –matrix bonding can causewith a brittle matrix (e.g., carbon and ceramics) to become more brittle, afiber –matrix bonding causes cracks to propagate linearly in the direction perthe fiber –matrix interface without being deflected to propagate along this intcase of a composite with a ductile matrix (e.g., metals and polymers), a cracthe brittle fiber tends to be blunted when it reaches the ductile matrix, ev
fiber –matrix bonding is strong.

b. Filler Surface Treatment
The surface treatment of a filler is usual
valuable method of improving the bonding between the filler thematrix. If the filler is carbon fiber, surface treatments involve oxidatreatments and the use of coupling agents, wetting agents, and/or siz(coatings). Carbon fibers need treatment for both thermosetting thermoplastic polymers. As the processing temperature is usually highethermoplastic polymers than for thermosetting polymers, the treatmmust be stable to a higher temperature (300 –400◦C) when a thermopla
polymer is used.

c. Use of an Organic Coupling Agent
1. Organic Coupling of Inorganic Components
The use of an organic molecule (known as a coupling agent; also known
tether) to covalently link an inorganic particle and an inorganic matrix enhancbetween the inorganic particle and the matrix, thus resulting in a nano composstrength. The chosen molecule must have functional groups at its two ends treact with the surface of the inorganic particle and the matrix material. Silane are most commonly used as the organic molecules. An example is a nanoccement as the matrix and silica fume as the inorganic particles.
2. Organic Coupling of an Inorganic filler and a Polymer Matrix
An organic coupling agent can be used to improve the bond between an inoa polymer matrix. For example, a silane coupling agent is effective at enhabetween boron nitride particles and an epoxy matrix. Boron nitride (BN) is a cewith some ionic character in the covalent bond between boron and nitrogen.

2.2 Interface Composition Modificationa. Filler –Matrix Interface Composition Modification
Ceramic –Metal and Carbon –Metal Interface Composition Modification
Due to the low CTEs of ceramics compared to metals, ceramic fillers
used in metal-matrix composites in order to achieve a composite with a low liquid metals tend not to wet ceramic surfaces well (i.e., a liquid metal tends ceramic surface), thus making the liquid metal infiltration process difficult. Tproblem, the ceramic surface may be modified by applying a coating that the liwet sufficiently well.
Reinforcement-Cement Interface Composition Modification
The bond strength can be enhanced by adding polymeric admixtures suthe formof an aqueous particulate dispersion) and methylcellulose (in the form osolution, since methylcellulose is water soluble) to the cement or concrete mix. T
only resides in the cement matrix but it also lines the fiber cement interface, therthe fiber –matrix bond. The bond strength can also be enhanced by adding a fine the mix, such as silica fume, which is around 0.1μm in particle size. The fine partipore size in the cementmatrix and at the reinforcement –cement interface. The preduction at the interface results in the strengthening of the interface.

b. Interlaminar Interface Composition Modification
For continuous fiber polymer-matrix composites, the interface between adjaof fibers is a polymer-rich region. It is the weak link in the composite, as shown by thedelamination is a common type of damage in these composites. The composition of t
can be modified by filling this region with a nanofiller, as illustrated in Fig. 6.13.

2.3 Interface Microstructure Modification
Chemical methods tend to provide microscopic roughness (lowwith a high density of hillocks in the resulting topography), whereasmethods tend to provide macroscopic roughness (high roughness,
density of hillocks in the resulting topography). Both a high roughnesdensity of hillocks promote mechanical interlocking. Thus, both typeshave their advantages and disadvantages. Chemical methods are usuamicroscopic reinforcements (e.g., carbon fiber), whereas mechanical musually used for macroscopic reinforcements (e.g., steel rebars).

The coating of carbon materials to protect them fromis used in this section to illustrate methods of surface comodification. In the absence of oxygen, carbon materials havhigh-temperature resistance. For example, the carbcomposites used for the nose cap of a Space Shuttle can 1,600°C, whereas more advanced carbon –carbon compo
withstand 2,200°C. In contrast, superalloys can only withstanand also have high densities.

b. Porosity Control
Porosity or void fraction is a measure of the void (i.e. "empty") smaterial, and is a fraction of the volume of voids over the total volume,
and 1, or as a percentage between 0 and 100%.
The porosity canbe reduced by tailoring the process and compossilicon carbide whisker copper-matrix composites, the use of the coatedmethod of powder metallurgy in place of the admixture method of powmetallurgy for composite fabrication reduces the porosity at a given fillefraction, as shown in Fig. 1.10.
