Composite material
A composite material is a material made from two or more distinct materials that, when combined, create a new material with properties superior to those of the individual components. The components are typically man-made or natural materials such as fiberglass, carbon fiber, or Kevlar, which are reinforced by a matrix material, such as epoxy resin or polyester.

The components are typically man-made or natural materials such as fiberglass, carbon fiber, or Kevlar, which are reinforced by a matrix material, such as epoxy resin or polyester. Composite materials have a wide range of applications, from aerospace and automotive industries to construction and sports equipment. They are prized for their high strength-to-weight ratio, resistance to corrosion, and ability to be molded into complex shapes. This Wikipedia page provides a comprehensive overview of composite materials, including their history, types, manufacturing processes, properties, and applications. It also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using composite materials, as well as the challenges associated with their production and recycling.
