Fabrics/Preforms for Composites

Composite fabrics or preforms serve as the foundation for creating composite materials, comprising carefully arranged layers of fibers or textiles before they are infused or coated with a matrix material. These fabrics or preforms come in various shapes, weaves, and orientations, allowing engineers to customize the material's properties based on specific application requirements. They play a pivotal role in determining the final characteristics of the composite, influencing factors like strength, flexibility, and weight distribution.
