About

    Composite materials are materials made by combining two or more distinct materials to create a new material with enhanced properties. These materials are commonly used in various industries, such as aerospace, automotive, and construction, due to their strength, durability, and lightweight properties. The combination of materials allows for the optimization of specific properties, such as strength-to-weight ratio, thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance. Common examples of composite materials include carbon fiber, fiberglass, and reinforced plastics. Research in this area focuses on developing new composite materials, improving existing ones, and exploring novel applications for these materials.
