Composite materials are made from at least two different materials
with significantly different properties and behaviour. When such
materials are combined, the produced composite has completely
different characteristics compared to the individual components. In
ancient Egypt, the earliest composite materials where created to
form bricks out of mud and straw for building constructions.
Polymeric composites are steadily growing and are one of the most
promising material classes, which have the opportunity to deal with
new challenges approaching from the market. These materials are
often stronger, lighter or less expensive when compared to
traditional materials, but the demands and needs are getting more
diverse and complex. Modern composites comprise the incorporation
of filler in micro and nanoscale, as well as the construction of
specific structure especially the imitation of nature - to create
new or improved material properties. This book gives an overview of
the scientific investigations carried out in recent years. The
topics discussed are forging an arc over different kinds of
composite materials such as composites based on commonly available
polymeric raw materials, but also composites based on biological
raw materials as well as the achievable material properties
comprising mechanical, electrical, structural and tribological
properties. Additionally, the book is also shedding light on the
construction and structuring of such composites using nature as an
inspiring example.
