Composite and Ceramicsmaterials

Composites, also mentioned as Fiber-ReinforcedPolymer (FRP) composites,and are made from a polymer matrix that is reinforced with anengineered or natural fiber (like glass, carbon or aramid) or other reinforcingmaterial.Comparing to materials such as plastic and rubber, newbiocomposites have less impact on the environment. The worldwide composite materials market is developing at about 5%every year, with carbon fiber requirement, developing at 12% every year.

Ceramics can be dense or lightweight based ontheir method of formation. Advanced ceramicmaterials are well developedin many areas, such as, from fridge magnets to an increasing range orindustries, including metals processing and production, electronics, aerospace, automotiveand personnel protection. Ceramics can also be formed to serve aselectrically conductive materials and few ceramics, likesuperconductors, can also show magnetic properties.
