chemistry, and whether thermoplastic or thermosetting Materials with synergistic properties are used to prepare composites with tailored characteristics; for instance, high-modulus but brittle carbon fibres are added to low-modulus polymers to create a stiff,lightweight polymer composite with some degree of toughness. Current polymer composites are really filled polymers, since these materials lack an intense interaction at the interface between the two mixed partners. Progress in this field has involved moving from macroscale fillers to micron-scale fillers, to even smaller fillers(3).
