Sign in to savematerial made from a combination of two or more unlike substances
AI overview
A composite material is made by combining two or more different substances together to create something new. This matters because the combination often produces a material with better properties than any of the individual substances alone, making composites useful for many practical applications.

Composites are formed by combining materials together to form an overall structure with properties that differ from that of the individual components
A composite or composite material (also composition material) is a material which is produced from two or more constituent materials. These constituent materials have notably dissimilar chemical or physical properties and are merged to create a material with properties unlike the individual elements. Within the finished structure, the individual elements remain separate and distinct, distinguishing composites from mixtures and solid solutions. Composite materials with more than one distinct layer are called composite laminates.
