  3. Composite material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_material

    A composite material (also called a composition material or shortened to composite, which is the common name) is a material which is produced from two or more constituent materials. [1] These constituent materials have notably dissimilar chemical or physical properties and are merged to create a material with properties unlike the individual ...

  4. Reinforcement (composite) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforcement_(composite)

    The most common particle reinforced composite is concrete, which is a mixture of gravel and sand usually strengthened by addition of small rocks or sand. Metals are often reinforced with ceramics to increase strength at the cost of ductility. Finally polymers and rubber are often reinforced with carbon black, commonly used in auto tires. [7]
