Show transcript
Production processes for industrial materials are under continuous development, with new materials discovered. Several factors direct a choice of materials: performance, production processes, cost, aesthetics, and others. Composites are mixtures of materials made up of a matrix and a reinforcement. Qualitative data describes properties, while quantitative data measures properties numerically.
