- 25Theory of Composites - Components in composite materialsTWO PHASES ;
PRIMARY PHASE - forms the matriculates within which the secondary phase is imbedded
SECONDARY PHASE - imbedded phase sometimes referred to as a reinforcing agent - usually serves to strengthen the composite - may be FIBRES / PARTICLES - 26Classification scheme for synthetic composites: MMC - metal matrix compositeMixtures of ceramics and metals such as cemented carbines
- 27Classification scheme for synthetic composites: CMCs - Ceramix matrix compositeAl2O3 and SiC imbedded fibres to improve properties, especially in high temperature applications.

examples - epoxy and polyester with fibre reinforcement, and phenolic with powders - 29PRIMARY PHASE - Matrix materialProvides the bulk form of the part or produce made of the composite material
Holds the imbedded phase in place
When a load is applied, the matrix shares the load with the secondary phase, in some cases deforming so that the stress is essentially born by the reinforcing agent - 30SECONDARY PHASE - reinforcing phaseReinforces the primary phase.
Imbedded phase is most likely;
Fibres
