| Abstract: | Human endeavour towards continuous improvement in the
quality of life has resulted in a host of new materials and new
technologies. Material surfaces get exposed to various en-vironments
and also come in contact with other surfaces,
similar or dissimilar. Tailoring of material surfaces to suit
critical areas of technology has become an art. With the
emergence of new fibres of plastics, glass and carbon steel is
no longer the strongest material. An imaginative blending of
materials with tailored surfaces and incorporation of reinfor-cement
materials in fibrous and nO:l-fibrous plans have
created 'Hardy Composite3'. The composite systems are
made up of metal, polymer or a ceramic matrix, a particulate
or fibrous filler acting as reinforcement and a compatibilizer
which tailors the surface and acts as an effective interface
between the matrix and the reinforcement. The inherent
strength of composites and their ability to withstand critical
environment have revolutionized our transportation and
communication systems, engineering goods, chemical equip-ment
and packaging materials. Human organ prostheses
have also become versatile by the availability of these new
materials. The hardy composites, apart from their impact on
our present lifestyles, breathe the message that 'unity is
strength' and that diverse people can intermingle effectively
resulting in composite cultures. |
