Fibre-reinforced composites are those in which the dispersed phase is in the form of a fiber.
Subject and UNIT: Engineering Materials and Metallurgy: Unit IV: Non-Metallic Materials
Consider a metal matrix with a fine distribution of secondary particles.
Meaning, Constituents, Classification | Non-Metallic Materials
Subject and UNIT: Engineering Materials and Metallurgy: Unit IV: Non-Metallic Materials
There are many situations in engineering where no single material will be suitable to meet a particular design requirement.
Characteristics, Classification
Subject and UNIT: Engineering Materials and Metallurgy: Unit IV: Non-Metallic Materials
Engineering ceramics, are also known as technical/industrial ceramics or advanced ceramics, are those ceramics that are specially used for engineering applications or in industries.
Characteristics, Classification
Subject and UNIT: Engineering Materials and Metallurgy: Unit IV: Non-Metallic Materials
The word 'ceramic' derives from the Greek 'keramos', which means "burnt stuff" or pottery. In earlier times, ceramic embraces only.

Subject and UNIT: Engineering Materials and Metallurgy: Unit IV: Non-Metallic Materials
Almost all biological systems are built of polymers which not only perform mechanical functions (like wood, bone, cartilage, leather) but also contain and regulate chemical reactions (leaf, veins, cells).
Subject and UNIT: Engineering Materials and Metallurgy: Unit IV: Non-Metallic Materials
In the previous unit, we have discussed about the ferrous and n ferrous materials that are widely used in engineering applications.
