Composite material, For the house!




Composite materials, often shortened to composites or called composition materials, are engineered or naturally occurring materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties which remain separate and distinct at the macroscopic or microscopic scale within the finished structure.

The very common example would be disc brake pads, which consists of hard ceramic particles embedded in soft metal matrix. Those composites closest to our personal hygiene form our shower stalls and bathtubs made of fibreglass. Imitation granite and cultured marble sinks and countertops are widely used. The most advanced examples perform routinely on spacecraft in demanding environments.
