A particulate composite is characterized as being composed of particles suspended in a matrix. Particles can have virtually any shape, size or configuration. Examples of well-known particulate composites are concrete and particle board. There are two subclasses of particulates: flake and filled/skeletal
The term 'pultrusion' combines the word 'pull' and 'extrusion.' It is a continuous manufacturing process to produce products with constant cross sections such as profiles and sheets. Fig. 5.25 is a schematic illustration of general pultrusion setup. As shown in the figure, continuous fiber reinforcements are saturated (wet out) with desired resin matrix either in a resin bath or in resin injection chamber. The coated fibers then pass through heating and forming dies where curing of the resin and forming of the shape occur. After the die the composite is allowed to postcure while being pulled to the saw which cuts it into stock length. Different resin–fiber combinations are used to achieve the final desired properties
