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.
