As the world becomes more energy efficient, Polymer Matrix Composites (PMCs) are helping push the limits of aerospace technology with lighter, stronger, more durable materials. From structural components to interior materials, PMCs provide lightweight strength and unmatched durability.
Polymer Matrix Composites (PMC) in Aerospace
Polymer matrix composites have already proven valuable across a wide range of aerospace applications. PMCs possess a high degree of stiffness and strength without the added weight of traditional materials.
We use ASTM standards for polymer matrix composites as the methodology for mechanical, chemical, thermal, and environmental testing. The application of these standards allows our experts to ensure your materials continue to perform under any conditions.

5 Considerations for ASTM D3039Â
Before embarking on a testing program using the ASTM D3039 testing standard, there are a few considerations to make, including the type of material, panel thickness, specimen machining and tabbing, and proper test controls.
Tensile Testing of Composites
Tensile testing of composites to ASTM D3039 determines the ultimate tensile strength, ultimate tensile strain, tensile chord modulus of elasticity and Poisson’s ratio of Polymer Matrix Composites (PMCs).
Understanding Composite Compression Test Methods
While there is no set standard for testing the compressive strength of composites, our experts can help you select the test methods that will generate the required result.
