Q: What is filament winding? 
A: Process for fabricating a composite structure in which continuous reinforcements are coated with resin and placed over a rotating form.  

Q: What is fiberglass?  
A: An individual filament made by drawing molten glass.   

Q: What is carbon fiber?  
A: An important reinforcing fiber known for its light weight, high strength and high stiffness.    

Q: What is E-glass?  
A: "Electrical glass", the borosilicate glass most often used as glass fibers in filament winding.    

Q: What is S-glass?  
A: Structural glass: used as a reinforcement, designed to provide very high tensile strength.    

Q: What is a mandrel?  
A: A male mold used in the production of a part by filament winding.    

Q: What is epoxy resin?  
A: The material used to bind together the reinforcement material; the matrix.    

Q: What is fiber?  
A: Single homogeneous strand of material, used in composites for high axial strength and modulus.     

Q: What are filaments?  
A: Individual fibers of indefinite length used in tows, yarn, or roving.      

Q: What is a tow?  
A: An untwisted bundle of continuous filaments.     

Q: What is composite material?  
A: Combination of two of more materials (reinforcing elements, fillers and matrix binder) differing in form or composition on a macro-scale.
