Abstract

The need to develop and use materials that are both much lighter and stronger than current materials but are also more energy-efficient has been felt due to the ongoing depletion of resources and the rising demand for component efficiency. Composites are the best available suitable materials due to their excellent ultra-light weight and outstanding strength characteristics. They have great energy absorption capacity, high stiffness, high fracture toughness, and low thermal expansionin addition to being highly strong in effect and light in weight. Today, composites are being used in an increasing number of technical fields, from the automotive to aviation.
