Key aspects of <strong>composites</strong><br />
• Composites are expensive to make, as<br />
compared to monolithic materials, especially<br />
if the shape <strong>and</strong> arrangement of the phases<br />
must be controlled.<br />
• Therefore there must be a strong motivation<br />
for making a composite structure to offset<br />
the cost.<br />
• The simplest <strong>composites</strong> are particulate<br />
<strong>composites</strong>. Laminates are next, followed<br />
by fiber <strong>composites</strong>. Woven structures are<br />
the most complex.
