This post will explore why we don’t just knit airplanes out of yarn. In part 1 of my exploration of fiber-based composites, I learned why fibers are so strong, and then, in part 2, how those wispy fibers can be brought together into more usable yarns or tows. Two whole parts on just the fibers. Of course, this series is not about fibers, but about composites. It’s time to introduce the second character in our story: glue.
