Abstract
This review paper encompasses a classification of composite materials, including polymer matrix composites (PMCs), metal matrix composites (MMCs), and ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). It discusses the unique properties and fabrication considerations specific to each material class. This article attempts to discuss various methods of fabrication of Composite materials, types of reinforcement available and properties (Physical, Mechanical, and Microstructural) of the composites. The composites with different volume fractions of reinforcement are summarized with respect to property changes. The review highlights the significance of composite material properties, such as strength, stiffness, thermal, and electrical conductivity. It discusses how these properties can be tailored through specific fabrication methods and by incorporating various reinforcements, such as fibres, particles, or additives. A detailed study of the types of matrices and reinforcement is provided so that the best results can be obtained in composite fabrication.
