Copper matrix composites (CMCs) are engineered materials in which a copper matrix is reinforced by ceramic particles, carbon-based nanomaterials or other high-strength inclusions to enhance mechanical ...

Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...

The class of materials known as ceramic matrix composites, or CMCs, shows considerable promise for providing fracture-toughness values similar to those for metals such as cast iron. Two kinds of ...

As opposed to conventional metal alloys, metal matrix composites (MMCs) possess inimitable physical, thermal, electrical, chemical, and mechanical properties that make them most suitable in today’s ...

As explained in my 2023 feature on ceramic matrix composites (CMC), the market for these high-temperature materials is growing. While technical ceramics are resistant to high temperatures (up to ...
