Composite materials have become a key part of modern engineering and materials science
because they are very strong for their weight, can be designed in many ways, and can be
made to fit specific needs. This page gives a full review of composite materials, focussing on
how they are classified, what they are made of (the matrix and the reinforcement), how they
are made, and how they behave mechanically. The conversation also covers the pros and
downsides of composites and how they may be used in many different fields, including as
aerospace, automotive, construction, and sports. It also talks about current trends in research
and development, such as the usage of nanocomposites and materials that are good for the
environment. This review is meant to be a basic guide to help you grasp the importance and
future potential of composite materials in engineering innovation.
Keywords: Composite materials, Matrix and reinforcement, Mechanical properties,
