Advances and Trends in the Development of Organic-Based Composite Materials with Polymeric Matrices

Abstract

This research focuses on bibliometric analysis using R Studio and Bibliometrics as tools for data collection and evaluation related to advances and trends in developing organic-based composite materials with polymeric matrices. The importance of this analysis lies in understanding how these materials require a well-defined matrix that acts as a continuous phase, providing resistance to compressive stress while facilitating interaction with the discontinuous phase to withstand tensile forces. Additionally, it is essential to objectively establish the reinforcing fibers that make up the dispersed phase, as they protect the material against environmental factors and mechanical agents, preventing negative effects such as wear, buckling, and compressive stress. Proper selecting phases is crucial when evaluating the results obtained about the estimated values. Thus, one of the main challenges in formulating polymeric compositions for composite material development is the accurate identification of matrices along with the supporting material. As a result of the challenges associated with the production of these materials, this research confirms, through bibliographic analysis, the increasing exploration of such composites, their impact on various fields throughout history, the technical difficulties inherent in their fabrication in many proposed cases, and the costs involved in their manufacturing.
