Composite textile materials are a family of high-performance materials used for structural and
load-carrying applications. The materials are formed by reinforcing textile preforms (e.g., woven, knitted, or braided fabrics)
with high-performance resins or polymers. As a result a lightweight and yet durable composite is formed with greater strength,
flexibility, and resistance to withstand stress when compared to conventional materials.
Simply put, a composite material (also referred to as a composition material) is created by mixing two or more constituent materials
with considerably different physical or chemical properties. When combined, the parts produce a new material with improved mechanical,
thermal, and chemical properties that are not found in the component parts.
Composite textiles are majorly used in most industries today, including aerospace, automotive, marine, defense, construction, and sports
equipment, where their performance, durability, and weight saving are essential.
