Generally, composites act as varistors - i.e. their resistance reduces as voltage increases. This is generic effect arising from many small (insulating) gaps found in most composites.
 

1. What is a composite material?

A composite material is a combination of two or more materials with different physical and chemical properties. These materials are combined to create a new material with enhanced properties, such as strength, stiffness, and durability.

2. How is the resistance of a composite material determined?

The resistance of a composite material is determined by several factors, including the type of materials used, the arrangement and orientation of the materials, and the manufacturing process. It is also influenced by external factors such as temperature, humidity, and loading conditions.

3. What are the advantages of using composite materials?

Composite materials offer several advantages over traditional materials. They are lightweight, have high strength-to-weight ratios, and can be tailored to specific applications. They also have better resistance to corrosion and fatigue, and can be molded into complex shapes.

4. What are the main challenges in designing with composite materials?

One of the main challenges in designing with composite materials is predicting their behavior under different loading conditions. This requires a thorough understanding of the material properties and how they interact with each other. Another challenge is ensuring the quality and consistency of the manufacturing process to maintain the desired properties of the composite material.

5. How can the resistance of a composite material be improved?

The resistance of a composite material can be improved by using stronger and more durable materials, optimizing the arrangement and orientation of the materials, and implementing advanced manufacturing techniques. It can also be enhanced by incorporating additives or coatings to provide additional protection against external factors such as moisture, chemicals, and UV radiation.
