Polymer composite materials: A comprehensive review

Herein, in the present review we developed and investigated a comprehensive review of advanced composite materials based on thermoplastic polymers, elastomer polymers and thermosetting polymers. These advanced composite materials were reinforced by organic and/or inorganic fibers and formulated using various fillers such as organic, mineral and metallic. Further, we present the development and the synthesis of several macromolec-ular matrices namely polycarbonate, polyhexamethylene sebacic, polyether sulfone, polyether ether ketone, polyether ketone ketone, polyether imide, polyethylene terephthalate, phenoplasts, epoxy resin and polyur-ethane. The advantage of composite materials formulating is to have excellent mechanical performances, high thermal resistance, good fire behavior, high impact resistance, best abrasion resistance, exceptional electric insu-lation and good rigidity. Then, composite materials formulation were examined and discussed in detail.
