What are composite materials? <\/strong>What are their properties? In what contexts are they used? <\/p>\n

To answer these questions, let’s take a step back: some composite materials date all the way to prehistoric times<\/strong>, while others occur in nature. Just think of straw-and-clay bricks <\/strong>or metal alloys<\/strong> like bronze\u2014materials that allowed humankind to advance technologically and improve quality of life. <\/p>\n

Let’s explore together what composite materials are, what their properties <\/strong>are, the most common types<\/strong>, and their main applications<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What Are Composite Materials? Definition and Characteristics<\/h2><\/div>

Composites are born from combining two or more materials with different properties<\/strong>. The idea is simple: unite the strengths<\/strong> of different elements to achieve better performance in terms of robustness, lightness, and versatility<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Among the most widely used composites are those with a:<\/p>\n
