Abstract

It has been recognized that technological development depends on advances in the field of materials. Whatever the field may be, the final limitations will rest on the available materials. In some industries, conventional monolithic materials are currently operating at or near their limits and do not offer the potential for meeting the demands of further technical advancement (Lerch & Saltsman, 1993). In this regard, composites represent nothing less than a giant step in the ever-lasting endeavor to achieve optimisation of materials.
