3. INTRODUCTION
What Are Composites?
A composite material is a material made
from two or more constituent materials
with significantly different physical or
chemical properties that, when combined,
produce a material with characteristics
different from the individual components.

4. Activities in Composite Materials
Activity 1:Testing Different Kinds of Ice
We compared the strength
of pure ice with the
strength of a composite ice
made with tissue paper
and ice made with tissue
paper with other material.
Activity 2: Hunting for Composite Material
We searched about
composites materials that
make up common
everyday objects, also
their advantages.

5. Activities in Composite Materials
- Strength relates to the maximum
amount of force a material can
experience before failing.
- Stiffness relates to the amount
of deformation a material can
experience and still return to its
original shape.
- We explored the strength and
stiffness of different materials.
Activity 3: Exploring the Difference
between Strength and Stiffness
Applying what we learnt
about composite materials,
we designing many
prototypes of fishing poles
until we achieved the
optimum design of strong,
flexible and light weight
fishing pole.
We tested different
samples of foam beams
for strength and stiffness
by clamping them to the
table and handing
weights to the beams and
measure their deflection .

6. Our Product Idea:
Safety Sport Socks
• In football, accidents are very common for the
players when they run on the ground.
• We have many types of socks that help the sports
players in many ways, egs; light weight, anti
sweat, odor free etc.
• So we developed a very unique sports socks that
will protect the players from leg injuries.
• As Qatar is hosting the World cup in 2022, we
would like to contribute our idea to help the
players for the world cup.

7. Safety Sport Socks
Methods and Materials
We are reinforcing the following materials to make
the socks;
• 1st layer containing cotton, nylon and spandex
that makes the socks anti-perspirant.
• Middle layer containing bubble wrap that has
the shock absorbing property.
• Outer layer containing the memory foam and
rubber in the knee and ankle that provides the
flexibility to play.
• We have made sure that the materials are light-
weight so that the players are not restricted in
free- motion.

8. Safety Sport Socks
Hypothesis
• We are aiming to develop sock from different
composites materials. Our socks will help to
protect our players from injuries in knee and
ankle.

9. Safety Sport Socks
Results
• We successfully designed
composite socks that will help the
players in soccer from injuries.
• Our product will help all players to play
soccer without any fear of injuries as it
will provide all kinds of protection from
leg blows, chances of twisting legs,
injuries from falling etc.

10. Safety Sport Socks
Recommendations
• Our product idea will not only help players in
football but also could be used by other athletes
and sportspersons for protection from injuries.
• This in fact will help them to prevent injury
breaks in their career thereby preventing loss of
money to the sponsors, and the management.
• Moreover, as we use low cost materials for
making, the overall cost is also less.

11. Conclusions
• Throughout our journey , we learnt about
different composites and their properties and
applications in everyday life and industrial
applications.
• Moreover, we learn to design a new product
idea that could change the lives of people and
make it better.
• We learn to work as a team, build confidence
and improve our communication skills.
