Composite materials are engineered from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties, which remain distinct within the finished structure. They are designed to achieve superior performance characteristics such as increased strength, reduced weight, or enhanced durability compared to traditional materials.

Physical properties are characteristics of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing its chemical identity. These properties are crucial for identifying, classifying, and using materials in various scientific and industrial applications.

Physical Properties

Chemical properties describe the potential of a substance to undergo chemical changes or reactions due to its composition. These properties are intrinsic to the substance and determine its behavior in chemical processes, influencing how it interacts with other substances.
