composites
Composites are materials made by combining two or more distinct substances, such as fibers and a resin matrix, to create a product with superior properties like strength and lightness that neither component has alone. In modern usage, they're revolutionizing industries from aerospace to automotive by offering customizable performance, though they can be more expensive and challenging to recycle than traditional materials.
