14. Compare rovings and yarn from the point of view of wettability
by resin. Which has more wettability and why?
15. What does post curing do in polymeric composites? What will
be the effect on the entropy of the composite after post curing?
16. What are ‘S’ and ‘Z’ type of twists in yarn? Explain their response
for resin percolation in ‘S’ and ‘Z’ twisted yarns during the fabrication of a composite.
17. What are the methods of fabrication of metal matrix composites?
18. What are the specific properties offered by ceramic matrix composites? Compare ceramics with ceramic matrix composites.
19. How does UV radiation affect polymers?
