Advanced Functional Materials

Composite materials are engineered materials made from two or more distinct materials that, when combined, create a material with superior properties compared to the individual components. The idea behind composites is to combine the strengths of different materials to achieve characteristics such as enhanced strength, durability, lighter weight, corrosion resistance, and other specific attributes tailored to a particular application.

Types of Composite Materials:

Fiber-Reinforced Composites (FRCs)

Particulate Composites

Laminates

Sandwich Composites
