The diversity of composites solutions from KraussMaffei
KraussMaffei will be presenting a wide range of exhibits from the various composites technologies at the JEC trade fair.
Composites
Composites are materials made from (at least) two materials with different properties, which constitute matrix and reinforcement. The most common matrices are polymers, and to reinforce composites are used synthetic and natural fibers. Composites posses unique properties, which exceed the properties of the raw materials. Composites are used e.g. in transportation, construction and medicine.
