Carbon fibre are thin strands of carbon atoms/molecules. ... Composites of carbon fibre made by mixing plastic (resin) are carbon fibre reinforced plastic and has properties like high strenght-to-weight ratio and rigidity. Epoxy is a type of plastic, so basically, they all have very similar properties.

There are three main types of composites based on the type of matrix they employ – polymer matrix composites (PMC), ceramic matrix composites (CMC), and metal matrix composites (MMC). The most common type are polymer matrix composites.

The most common insulation materials are fiberglass, cellulose and foam. Insulation types include loose fill, batts, rolls, foam board, spray board and vapor barriers. Tip: The type of insulation you need depends on which type is currently installed and the required R-value.

The matrix phase of a composite material may be a metal, a polymer or ceramic. Matrix phase is continuous and surrounds the dispersed phase. Dispersed phase consists of fibres or particles of different sizes or wires or meshes which is of discontinuous nature.

Wood, cement, aggregates, metals, bricks, concrete, clay are the most common type of building material used in construction. The choice of these are based on their cost effectiveness for building projects.
