At the most basic level, a composite is a combination of two or more different materials. This creates different properties than if the fiber was split up into smaller pieces and spread throughout the resin in different directions. Is there a difference between polymer composites, thermoset composites, and thermoplastic composites?

Adding a texture as light as 0.001” can help to hide flow marks, weld lines, and may aid in lowering the cycle time of creating a product. By varying texture, a material without a natural matte finish can be made to look dull, light refraction can be adjusted, and grip of the application can be enhanced.  TPEs can provide unusual texturing, such as a bubble or ridged surface or a leather-like feel for phone and tablet cases, as well as combinations of different textures that accentuate consumer functionality.
