segumaterjalid
Segumaterjalid, often translated as composite materials, are engineering 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 level within the finished structure. The purpose of combining these materials is to create a new material with characteristics that are superior to those of the individual components. Typically, one component is a matrix, which holds the other component, known as the reinforcement, in place. The reinforcement provides strength and stiffness, while the matrix binds the reinforcement together and transfers load to it.
Common types of reinforcements include fibers, particles, and flakes, while matrices can be polymeric, metallic, or
