A resina epóxi funciona como a fase matriz em compósitos reforçados com fibra de carbono.
2. The primary solid or liquid phase in a two-phase or multi-phase system that provides structural support and transfers load to reinforcing elements
The strength of the composite depends on both the matrix phase properties and fiber reinforcement.
A resistência do compósito depende das propriedades da fase matriz e do reforço de fibra.
This is a specialized technical term primarily used in aerospace, automotive, and materials engineering fields in both Brazil and Portugal. It is not part of everyday vocabulary but is essential in academic and industrial contexts where composite materials are discussed.
