No. But it can be made into a composite by adding glass, carbon, or kevlar fibers, among other things.
A composite metal is formed by combining two or more different metals to create a material with specific properties or characteristics. Examples include steel (iron and carbon) and brass (copper and zinc).
Wood is actually a composite material composed of several polymers (e.g. cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin), assorted minerals, fatty acids, resin acids, waxes terpenes, etc. As a composite, wood is biologically analogous to fiberglass epoxy or carbon fiber epoxy synthetic composites, with cellulose providing the fibers and hemicellulose and lignin the binders.
A modified epoxy resin contain substances added to improve the properties.
can epoxy resin applied on oily surface
put simply post curing is putting a room temperature cured composite component at an elevated temperature to complete cross linking in the epoxy, this can improve it's strength and temperature resistance it can often be achieved inexpensivley as typical post cures of 70-80 degrees are easily echievable with domestic heaters and a plastic tent, temperatures and post cute times differ according to manufacturers recommendations hope that helps

Epoxy resin is only one part of a composite glue, a hardener is also required. They are most commonly used in PVC plumbing pipes, but these composite glues can be designed so as to work on a wide range of surfaces including wood and metal.
the main components in a composite bat are carbon fiber sheets, Aramid, epoxy, poly-carbonate plugs, steel rod, steel pin, and fiber glass.

Yes, epoxy will stick to cured epoxy.
Model rocket engines use either black powder (charcoal, sulfur, and potassium nitrate) or a composite mixture (epoxy, ammonium perchlorate, etc.). Solid rocket fuels for large rockets can use composite mixtures containing synthetic rubber, epoxy, aluminum powder, iron powder, iron oxide, ammonium perchlorate, etc.
A good 5-minute epoxy, and keep pressure on it while it sets.
If you are asking about bonding carbon fiber composite to fiberglass composite, a strong epoxy is recommended, sanding both surfaces thoroughly first. Clamping force is also recommended, and under certain circumstances, an autoclave to reduce air bubbles.If you are looking to wrap carbon fiber over a fiberglass composite form, sand the surface first, then apply a coat of slow-curing epoxy. Let it dry to a tack, then wrap the fabric over the sticky surface. Finish by wetting out the wrapped-over fiber with extra coats of epoxy, sanding to a gloss, and applying a clearcoat. UV inhibitors will be required if the project will be outdoors.
Yes, you can apply epoxy on top of existing epoxy as long as the surface is properly prepared and the existing epoxy is clean and in good condition.
