This video takes a look at composite materials, materials that are made up from two or more distinct materials. Composites are engineered to obtain materials with very useful material properties, tailored for specific applications.

In the structure of a typical composite, one material the dispersed phase is contained within another the matrix phase. The dispersed phase usually consists of small particles, or of either short or continuous fibers.

CFRP, or carbon fiberreinforced polymer, is one of the most commonly used engineering composites. But there are many others, including metalmatrix composites and ceramicmatrix composites, that have uses in many different industries and applications.
