Definition: Composite materials are engineered materials made from two or more constituent materials that have significantly different physical or chemical properties. When combined, these materials create a product that has
superior properties compared to the individual components. The primary advantage of composite materials is their ability to be tailored to meet specific performance requirements, such as strength, weight, corrosion resistance, or
stiffness.

Key Components of Composite Materials: Types of Composite Materials:


 Fiber-Reinforced Composites: Fibers (e.g., glass, carbon)
 Matrix: The continuous phase that holds everything together. It surrounds and are embedded in a matrix material (e.g., polymer). These
supports the reinforcement materials by maintaining their relative positions. Matrices composites are lightweight, strong, and stiff, widely used in
can be: aerospace, automotive, and construction industries.

o Polymer-based (e.g., epoxy, polyester)  Particle-Reinforced Composites: Particles are used as


o Metal-based (e.g., aluminum, titanium) reinforcements within a matrix. These can provide improved
o Ceramic-based (e.g., silicon carbide) wear resistance and are often used in cutting tools or concrete.

 Reinforcement: The dispersed phase that improves mechanical properties such as  Structural Composites: These include laminates or
strength and stiffness. Reinforcements can be: sandwich panels where different layers or materials provide Composite materials are widely used in aerospace for
strength and rigidity.
lightweight structural components, automotive for improved fuel
o Fibers (e.g., carbon fiber, glass fiber, aramid)
efficiency, and sports equipment for enhanced performance,
o Particles (e.g., silicon carbide, aluminum oxide) leveraging their unique strength and durability characteristics.
o Whiskers or Wires
