Introduction

Composite materials consist of two or more distinct constituents that work together to produce a material with properties suited to particular applications. In polymer-matrix composites, a polymer forms the continuous matrix, while reinforcing fibres, particles, or other materials can enhance or modify properties such as strength, stiffness, durability, and weight. Performance depends on the constituent materials, interfacial bonding, reinforcement geometry, manufacturing methods, and operating environment. [2]
