Industrial applications of composite materials – Tailor-made solutions from Dr. Dietrich Müller GmbH
Composite materials have been a part of humanity's lives for millennia – from straw-reinforced bricks in the ancient Near East to cutting-edge fiber composite materials in today's aerospace industry. Customized composite components made from advanced materials are also indispensable in industry today. Dr. Dietrich Müller GmbH offers customized solutions for numerous industries – from medical technology to the energy sector.
What are composite materials?
Composite materials consist of at least two different materials that are mechanically (not chemically) bonded together. This creates a material whose properties can be specifically adapted to the application. Depending on the matrix material, a distinction is made between polymer-, metal-, or ceramic-based composites.
Advantages of tailor-made composite components:
- High strength with low weight
- Corrosion and heat resistance
- Electrical and thermal insulation
- Design freedom and dimensional stability
- Individually adaptable material properties
