Polymeric Matrix Composites (PMC) The reasons for PMC to be the most commonly used composites: • monolithic polymer has low strength and stiffness • processing is easier (no high temperature or pressure) Disadvantages of PMCs: • low maximum working temperature • high CTE, low dimensional stability • sensitive to environmental factors: radiation, moisture,… e.g. water adsorption degradation in strength, modulus formation of internal stress swelling lowering of Tg • combustible for most polymers

Polymerization (聚合、聚化反應) Chain polymerization of monomers: (1)Initiation
(2) Propagation R─CH2─CH2+CH2=CH2R─CH2─CH2─CH2─CH2 (3) Termination R(CH2─CH2)m+R´(CH2─CH2)n R(CH2─CH2)m─ (CH2─CH2)nR´
