註釋Space, the depths of the ocean, and the increasing technological requirements on earth are imposing such extreme and exacting demands on materials that often they can not be met by any one material acting alone. Composites, combinations of several materials acting in concert, are called upon to provide properties unattainable in the constituents by themselves. The combined action is frequently of a different order of magnitude, or quite different in character, from the behavior of the constituents. Composites take many forms. They may consist of particles or fibers distributed in a matrix, they may be layered materials laminated together, and they may be organic, metallic, ceramic, or combinations of these. Traditional categories of materials being broken down as new combinations, often with materials heretofore considered to be incompatible, are sought to provide answers to new problems. Composites offer new challenges to the materials specialist. What occurs at the interface between constituents? How do they act together? What are the internal mechanics, the micromechanics, of these materials? How can the constituents be tested in situ to determine their behavior in combination with other materials? How does the designer go about tailoring the properties of a complex composite to meet the imposed conditions? Finding the answers will tax to the utmost the ingenuity and resources of the analyst, the materials scientist, and the materials engineer.
