INTRODUCTION
Word COMPOSITE signifies that 2 or more materials combined
on a macroscopic scale to form a useful material.

Properties that can be improved by forming a Composite


Materials

Strength Weight
Stiffness Fatigue life
Corrosion resistance Temperature dependent behavior
Wear resistance Thermal insulation
Attractiveness Thermal conductivity
Acoustical insulation
History of usage of Composite Materials:
Straw used to strengthen mud bricks by Israelites
Plywood used for superior strength & resistance for thermal expansion by
Egyptians
Medieval swords & armors constructed with layers of different materials.
DEFINITION:
Characteristics of Composite materials are:
(i) Individual constituents making up a composite material are always different
chemically &
(ii) They are essentially insoluble in each other.

A composite material is a materials system composed of a mixture or


combination of two or more macro constituents differing in form and/or
material composition and that are essentially insoluble in each other.

Usually composite have 2 phases: Matrix
Phase (Continuous) & Dispersed Phase
(Particulates, Fibres)

Properties of composites depend upon


properties of phases, geometry of dispersed
phase (particle size, distribution, orientation)
and amount of phase.
