Abstract
The high school final thesis explored composite materials, particularly fiberglass, and the processes involved in their production. The work detailed the benefits and applications of fiberglass manufacturing, emphasizing manual production methods and practical advantages like flexibility in design, low production costs, and excellent mechanical properties for varied applications.
Exploring Composite Materials
An overview of the importance of composites in modern engineering.
The study introduced the principles of composite material design, focusing on the benefits and the versatility of fiberglass in applications ranging from industrial parts to consumer goods.
Fiberglass Production Techniques
Detailed processes of fiberglass production from manual crafting to advanced methods.
The thesis described manual techniques for fiberglass layering, detailing the use of mats, resins, and curing processes for creating durable structures. Emphasis was on practical, cost-effective approaches suitable for small-scale production.
Applications of Fiberglass in Industry
Exploring various industrial uses of fiberglass.
Discussed the use of fiberglass in automotive, construction, and consumer industries, highlighting its properties like strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance.
Advantages of Manual Fiberglass Production
Flexibility and economic benefits of the techniques.
Showed that manual fiberglass production is viable for small-scale manufacturing, offering customization and low costs while maintaining quality. The thesis concluded that fiberglass, with its superior mechanical and chemical properties, is a valuable material for modern engineering and design, particularly in resource-limited contexts.
