“Composite
materials (or composites for short) are engineered materials made from two or
more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical
properties and which remain separate and distinct on a macroscopic level within
the finished structure.”

“The most primitive composite materials were straw and mud
combined to form bricks for building construction; the Biblical book of Exodus
speaks of the Israelites being oppressed by Pharaoh, by being forced to make
bricks without straw being provided. The ancient brick-making process can still
be seen on Egyptian tomb paintings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The most advanced examples perform routinely on spacecraft in demanding
environments. The most visible applications pave our roadways in the form of
either steel and aggregate reinforced portland cement or asphalt concrete. Those
composites closest to our personal hygiene form our shower stalls and bath tubs
made of fiberglass. Solid surface, imitation granite and cultured marble sinks
and counter tops are widely used to enhance our living experiences.”

*************************************************
“There are two categories of constituent materials: matrix
and reinforcement. At least one portion of each type is required. The matrix
material surrounds and supports the reinforcement materials by maintaining their
relative positions. The reinforcements impart their special mechanical and
physical properties to enhance the matrix properties. A synergism produces
material properties unavailable from the individual constituent materials, while
the wide variety of matrix and strengthening materials allows the designer of
the product or structure to choose an optimum combination. Engineered composite
materials must be formed to shape. The matrix material can be introduced to the
reinforcement before or after the reinforcement material is placed into the mold
cavity or onto the mold surface. The matrix material experiences a melding
event, after which the part shape is essentially set. Depending upon the nature
of the matrix material, this melding event can occur in various ways such as
chemical polymerization or solidification from the melted state.”
