Composite laminates are a combination of fiber reinforcement and resin. Once cured, these finished parts are primarily fiber dominant, meaning their physical properties most resemble those of the reinforcement used. So what role does resin play? It serves two basic purposes:
Resin holds reinforcement together and helps it conform to a desired shape.
Resin also helps to transfer mechanical loads from the fibers of reinforcement to the entire composite part.
