Post 3

So here is post number 3 woohoo!!!

Anyways,  reporting yesterday at SAC for our group meeting on our project discussion. The SAC is indeed a place one who is new to NTU should check out. Business first, defmat had our group discussion there for the whole morning to brainstorm on our initial project: electronic skin, which we decided to give up on for a better one. But we must admit, the SAC is quite a nice place to study in, though one must be wary of distractions at every corner, literally.



So after lunch, our group decided to have a nice and fun session of pool, here are some pics for you to enjoy.



Thats me!! :)





So  what did we do today? Well after a brief talk with AP Cheng Zhong, we had gained better understanding on the topic of composites which is the mixing of two or more compound at a macro level. Though composites are widely used due to their superior mechanical properties, their cost are “superior” to others as well.


With our new friends Jason( not to be confused with our mentor)  and Bernard, we had a more clear directon of the purpose and usage of composites in our daily lives. With this new insights, we were able to come up with our new research propersal.

Most of our discussion were targeted at carbon fiber, here are some of its product:

Cool right!!!



Composites not only focused on the types of materials used but also its arrangement and braiding of the fabric. 

So this is all we have for today, look out for our post number 4 for more information. This is DefMat reporting off duty.
