Non-base material refers to a material that does not serve as a matrix material. It is usually used together with matrix materials to make composite materials or reinforced materials.
For example, carbon fiber is a common non-base material that is used to make carbon fiber composites to increase the strength and stiffness of the material. Other non-substrate materials include glass fiber, Aramid fiber, Polyimide fiber, etc. These materials usually have high strength, high modulus, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and other properties, and are widely used in aerospace, automobiles, ships, construction and other fields.
In composite materials, the combination of matrix and non-matrix materials can create a synergistic effect, making the composite perform better than its constituent materials.
For example, carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is a common carbon fiber composite material. It has the advantages of high strength, high stiffness, low density, etc., and is widely used in automobiles, aerospace and other fields.
