Textiles are products made of fibrous materials.
- Composite Reinforcement
- Factors affecting reinforcement’s strength contribution:
- Mechanical properties of the fiber material
- Orientation of fibers
- Quantity of fiber
- Ratio of fiber to matrix
- Surface interaction
- Preforms
- Chopped Strand
- 2D woven preforms
- Roving (continuous strand)
- Untwisted
- Yarn
- Bundle of fibers
- Often plied
- Lighter than Roving
- Tow
- Large bundle of fiber
- Continuous Strand Mat
- Chopped Strand Mat
- Milled fibers
- Glass Fiber Nomenclature
- Glass Yarn US Yardage System
- TEX/Metric
- See: ASTM D578
