Composite materials combine two or more materials.
Metal ceramic and polymer composites for various uses.
Ceramics are hard and strong but brittle.
Dental materials can be generated by different sources and include metal alloys ceramic and cement materials and polymer associated substances among others.
For example the use of monomers that form a rigid polymer network with higher cross linking density can lead to a composite with high t g.
The region of application purpose of use biocompatibility degradation ratios resistance and aesthetic applications are factors in determining which materials will be selected for.
Different materials have different properties.
Frps are also replacing some metals in various applications for better.
Metal ceramic and plastic honeycomb composites are used in aircraft and sporting goods.
Polymers cover different mechanical properties that include extensive levels of strength toughness and hardness.

Metal matrix composites consist of a metal al mg and cu matrix filled with nanoceramic particles carbides oxides nitrides and carbon nanotubes featuring physical and mechanical properties very different from those of the matrix riccardo and maurizio 2014.
A broad category of composite materials that include a honeycomb structure a mass of hexagonal cells inspired by the shape of the honeycombs produced by bees in their nests.
Polymers are strong and tough and often flexible.
The requirement that finished parts be able to operate at temperatures high enough to melt or degrade a polymer matrix creates the need for other types of matrix materials often metals.
Metal matrices offer not only high temperature resistance but also strength and ductility or bendability which increases toughness.
Metal ceramic and polymeric composites for various uses.
Because the composition greatly influences the behavior of dental composites better clinical results will be obtained as professionals gain more information about materials and their clinical implications.

Ceramic fibers in cmcs can have a polycrystalline structure as in conventional ceramics.
These are often used to produce flat light materials with a high specific strength.
There are mainly three types of polymers these are thermoplastics thermo setting and fiber reinforced plastics frps.
