ABSTRACT
Composite materials are those formed by combining two or more materials on a macroscopic scale such that they have better engineering properties than the conventional materials, for example, metals. Some of the properties that can be improved by forming a composite material are stiffness, strength, weight, corrosion resistance, thermal properties, fatigue life and wear resistance. Most man–made composite materials are composed of two materials: a reinforcement material called fiber and a base material, called matrix material.
