What is Composite Material

Chapter 4
Handbook of Research on Advancements in Manufacturing, Materials, and Mechanical Engineering
A composite material (also called a composition material or shortened to composite, which is the common name) is a material made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties that, when combined, produce a material with characteristics different from the individual components.

Abstract
The present research investigation aims to fabricate a new class of fiber reinforced composite material by using biodegradable materials with epoxy as the strengthening agent. In order to explore the possibilities of using the new class of composite material in required application areas, the research work is carried out mainly in the field of the acoustic absorption properties of these bio fibers as an alternate building material. Also, the utilization of these materials as sound insulation will also provide a good solution to the waste management.
