About Composites and Composite Materials
Composites and composite materials usually consist of a matrix and a dispersed, fibrous or continuous second phase. There are three basic types of composites and composite materials: polymer matrix composites (PMC), ceramic matrix composites (CMC), and metal matrix composites (MMC). Most industrial composites use a resin system, a catalyst or curing agent, and fiber reinforcements that strengthen finished parts. Advanced composites use high-performance resin systems and high-strength, high-stiffness fiber reinforcements. In some cases, an advanced composite or advanced composite material provides electrical properties such as insulation or conductance.
