    • Composite material
      An artificially prepared or natural multiphase material that exhibits a significant properties of the both the constituent material
    • Composites
      Materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties
    • Phases of composites
      • Matrix phase
      • Reinforcement phase
      • Interphase
    • Matrix phase
      The continuous or binder material that surrounds and holds together the reinforcement material, provides support to the reinforcement
    • Reinforcement phase
      Fibers, particles, or other materials embedded within the matrix
    • Interphase
      The region where the matrix and reinforcement phases interact, a crucial area that influences the overall performance, mechanical properties
    • Types of composites
      • Fiber-reinforced composites
      • Particle-reinforced composites
      • Structural-reinforced composites
    • Fiber-reinforced composites
      Characterized by the use of fibers as the primary reinforcement within a matrix material, fibers can be continuous or discontinuous
    • Particle-reinforced composites
      Involve the dispersion of particles within a matrix material, particles can be of various materials, including ceramics, metals, or polymers
    • Structural-reinforced composites
      Designed for load-bearing applications where high strength and stiffness are critical, often combine different types of reinforcements to achieve specific mechanical properties

      • Recycling and sustainability
    • Plastic
      Can exhibit a wide range of properties depending on factors such as the type of polymer, additives
    • Fiber
      Characterized by their high length-to-diameter ratio, which gives them unique mechanical properties such as high tensile strength, flexibility, and elasticity
    • Metal
      Comprised of elemental atoms or alloys, which are combinations of two or more metallic elements, have distinctive physical properties
    • Concrete
      A composite material made up of several components, the main constituents include aggregates (such as gravel, sand, or crushed stone), cement (commonly Portland cement), water, and sometimes supplementary materials
    • Fiber composites
      A class of advanced materials that utilize fibers as the primary reinforcement within a matrix, find applications in aerospace for lightweight and high-strength components like aircraft wings
    • Components of Composite Fibers
      • Matrix materials

      • Ceramic Matrix
      • Metal Matrix
      • Polymer Matrix
    • Ceramic Matrix
      Ceramic-based materials, they resemble a mixture of ceramic fibers
    • Metal Matrix
      Unique materials composed of metal blended with something else, such as another metal or another substance
    • Polymer Matrix
      A polymer is a large molecule composed of smaller pieces held together by strong connections
