A composite material is a combination of two materials with different physical and chemical properties. When they are combined they create a material which is specialised to do a certain job, for instance to become stronger, lighter or resistant to electricity. They can also improve strength and ...
a fiberglass/epoxy composite. In some cases, the substrate is a flexible material, usually plastic, which can fold or bend to accommodate space requirements. Flexible substrates can also withstand higher temperatures and other harsh conditions. Some PCBs use a combination of both...
Known for its higher impact resistance, unique processing possibilities, lightweight properties, strength and environmental advantages, thermoplastic composites are increasingly being used in the aerospace industry to replace various metallic and thermoset composite parts. And as fuel effi...
Transparent PCB Materials Conventional PCBs use opaque substrate materials like FR-4 which is a composite of fiberglass and resin. Transparent PCBs use clear insulating materials that allow light to pass through while still providing adequate dielectric insulation. Some options are:...
while ERP systems are designed to optimize business processes. MES solutions provide real-time information on production processes, while ERP systems provide historical data on business processes. MES software is typically used at the operational level, while ERP systems are used at the strategic level...
For example, composite prepreg (pre-impregnated) materials are used during various assembly and fabrication processes in the high-tech, aerospace, automotive, and life sciences industries. Time-sensitive materials require unique management and monitoring to capture and track time associated with materials...

Today, the use ofcompositeshas evolved to commonly incorporate a structural fiber and a plastic, this is known as Fiber Reinforced Plastics or FRP for short. Like straw, the fiber provides the structure and strength of the composite, while a plastic polymer holds the fiber together. Common type...
Epoxy resins can be altered and impregnated into the fiber and be in what is called a B-stage. This is how prepregs are created. With epoxy prepregs, the resin is tacky, but not cured. This allows layers of prepreg materials to be cut, stacked, and placed in a mold. Then, with th...
Prepreg is a thin, glass fabric that has been coated with resin and dried in special machines known as prepreg treatmenters. The resin is held in place by the glass. The resin, usually FR4 epoxy, Teflon, or polyimide, is a liquid that is applied to the fabric. The prepreg is absorbed...
