An Introduction
The majority of composite materials use two constituents: i- binder or matrix and ii- reinforcement. The reinforcement is stronger and stiffer, forms backbone, while The matrix keeps the reinforcement in a set place. The binder also protects the reinforcement, which may be brittle or breakable.

Definition
A combination of two or more materials (reinforcement, resin, filler, etc.), differing in form or composition on a macroscale. The constituents retain their identities, i.e.,
they do not dissolve or merge into each other, although
they act in concert.
Normally, the components can be physically identified and exhibit an interface between each other.

Properties of composites
Composite materials consist of two or more different (non-uniform solid) materials, that are mechanically or metallurgically bonded together. Each component retains its identity and maintains its characteristic structure and properties.

An Introduction
Composite materials (or composites) are engineered materials
Kevlar
Kevlar is a material formed by combining paraphenylenediamine and terephthaloyl chloride. Aromatic polyamide (aramid) threads are the result. They are further refined, by dissolving the threads and spinning them into regular fibres. When woven, Kevlar forms a strong and flexible material. If layers of the woven Kevlar are combined with layers of resin, the resulting rigid material is light and has twenty times the strength of steel. It is also superior to specialist metal alloys. However, Kevlar is expensive due to the demands of the manufacturing process and the need for specialist equipment
