The materials industry is one of the main supplier sectors that feed all fields of businesses in the economy. The emerging of high-tech materials used in defense, aerospace, electronics, telecommunications and automotive is only made possible by the advancements in the materials science which transformed the sector into a multi-disciplined and process-intensive branch.
Despite its many qualities, plastics have been the subject of research that seeks to improve the material's rigidity and durability. In order to address these deficiencies polymer-based composites were developed in the 50s, offering many advantages such as high-resistance, thermal stability, rigidity and resilience against wear. Moreover, composites are comparable to metals in rigidity and durability although they are much lighter in weight.
Composite materials comprise 3 main elements, matrix, additives and reinforcements. STA (Sonmez Textiles Advanced) is engaged in the design and production of advanced reinforcement materials that support next generation manufacturing technologies.
This type of composite reinforcement material is used in automotive, wind energy, marine, aerospace, military, building-construction, consumer goods, corrosion resistant coatings and other specific applications.
