Nowadays, composite materials have made possible the design of more efficient machines and equipment, due to the improvement in their physical, mechanical and chemical properties. This kind of materials have different structures and characteristics unlike simple materials, since the combination of different structures results in a material with properties that are very useful in engineering applications due to its high resistance and lightness [1]. Composites are solid-state materials that have multiple phases in the nanoscale range and are incorporated with nanometer-sized particles within the matrix of an alloy or metal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
