11. PMR-PI composites may provide service temperature in
excess of 300 °C.
12. Repairing composites is a complex task.
13. Lightweight sporting goods (such as racquets, golf clubs,
bicycles, boats, etc.) are made of polymeric composites.
Exercises
1. How will you develop a lightweight fishing rod? Explain the reason for your selection of raw materials and processing technologies.
2. What are the reinforcements to be used for underwater applications? Provide their reasons for selection of materials and process too.
3. Why is the manufacture of high-pressure vessels out of composites gaining momentum?
4. In what conditions would a polar wound pressure vessel be
made for an automobile? Is there any advantage in using the filament winding process over a tape winding process? Explain.
5. What are the raw materials to be chosen for making the lining of
a rocket motor engine?
6. Why are thermoplastic composites used for making fracture
braces for patients?
7. Why is a sandwich foamed structure used in boat hulls and car
chassis?
8. What are the processes to make a composite cycle frame and an
aircraft seat frame?
9. What are the possible advantages in making a cableway cabin
out of composites?
10. How do you compare the ability to repair polymeric composites
with metals? Which material has better repairability and why?
