ceramic matrix composites

Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are materials made by combining ceramics with other substances to enhance their properties. Ceramics are hard and heat-resistant but can be brittle. By mixing ceramics with fibers or particles, CMCs become stronger and more durable, making them less likely to break under stress. These composites are used in high-performance applications, such as aerospace engines and advanced automotive parts, where they can withstand extreme temperatures and reduce weight. Their unique combination of strength, thermal resistance, and lightness makes CMCs valuable in modern engineering and technology.
