Abstract

In the historical process, materials science, design, industrial products and production methods have diversified. At this point, products produced in every field, from the items we use in our daily lives to technological equipment, devices, systems and vehicles, are viewed from an "industrial design" perspective. The development of materials science and new material groups is accelerated by being guided by the needs of the industry. New materials developed in this direction provide the opportunity to advance in the sector in terms of technology, product diversity, and the possibility of choosing materials for the usage conditions and function of the industrial product. In terms of material selection and mechanical design, it is possible to suggest different groups that can provide suitable conditions to produce a product. It is also possible to gain purposeful properties by applying different surface modification methods to the selected material group. The properties of composite materials can be easily changed for the purpose and in the desired direction. In this context, the use of composites offers a wide range of open-ended work to the mechanical designer, artistic designer and manufacturer. In this study, the general properties of polymeric matrix composite materials, which provide many advantages such as lightness, mechanical strength, ease of production and shaping, and aesthetic appearance in industrial products, were investigated and sectoral product examples were examined. It has been revealed that materials science and product design motivate each other.
