Composite materials

A composite material, often known as a composition material or simply composite, is a substance that is created from two or more constituent elements. These ingredient substances, which differ significantly from one another chemically or physically, are combined to produce a substance having characteristics that are distinct from those of the constituent substances. The completed structure's constituent components stay distinct and independent, setting composites apart from mixes and solid solutions.

Examples of common designed composite materials are:
Masonry and reinforced concrete such as plywood, composite wood,
Reinforced plastics, such fiber glasses or fiber-reinforced polymer
Ceramic-based composites (composite ceramic and metal matrices)
Composite materials with metal matrix and other advanced composite materials

New content may be favoured for a number of different reasons. Materials that are more affordable, lighter, stronger, or more durable than ordinary materials are common examples. Researchers have more recently started to actively incorporate sensing, actuation, computing, and networking into composites, which are referred to as robotic materials. Buildings, bridges, and other constructions including boat hulls, aquatics panels, racing car bodywork, shower stalls, bathtubs, storage tanks, and replica granite and cultured marble basins and countertops are frequently made of composite materials. Additionally, they are being employed more and more in standard automotive applications. The most cutting-edge examples often operate aboard aircraft and spacecraft in difficult situations.
