Ceramics and Composite Materials

Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are a subgroup of composite materials and a subgroup of ceramics. They comprise of ceramic fibres embedded in a ceramic matrix. The fibers and the matrix both can comprise of any ceramic material, whereby carbon and carbon fibers can also be taken as a ceramic material. A composite material may be a material which is created from two or more constituent materials. These constituent materials have significantly dissimilar chemical or physical properties and are merged to create a material with properties not at all like the individual elements.
