Abstract

The term “composite material” can be broadly defined as the result of combining two or more materials on a microscopic scale, each of which has their own unique properties, to produce a new material that has properties far superior than either of the base materials. The constituent that is continuous, present normally in greater quantity, in the composite is called the matrix, and the second constituent is referred to as the reinforcement (fibers) as it enhances the properties of the matrix (Hull and Clyne 1996; Matthews and Rawlings 1995).
