Ceramic matrix composites (CMC) consist of ceramic fibers reinforced with particulates, fibers, or cloth. Compared to conventional technical ceramics, which fracture easily under loads, CMCs have a ...

Among competing materials, ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are the leading candidates. As with all composite systems, ceramic composites are composed of two of more constituents that must maintain ...

Metal matrix composites (MMC) consist of a metal and one or more other materials, typically a ceramic or organic compound. They provide superior specific strengths and good strength-to-weight ratios, ...
