A ber-reinforced composite (FRC) is a high-performance composite material made up of three components - the bers as the
discontinuous or dispersed phase, the matrix acts as the continuous phase, and the ne interphase region or the interface.

There are three main types of composite matrix materials:

Ceramic matrix - Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are a subgroup of composite materials. They consist of ceramic bers
embedded in a ceramic matrix, thus forming a ceramic ber reinforced ceramic (CFRC) material. The matrix and bers can

consist of any ceramic material. CMC materials were designed to overcome the major disadvantages such as low fracture
toughness, brittleness, and limited thermal shock resistance, faced by the traditional technical ceramics.

Metal matrix - Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are composite materials that contain at least two constituent parts – a metal
and another material or a di erent metal. The metal matrix is reinforced with the other material to improve strength and wear.
Where three or more constituent parts are present, it is called a hybrid composite. In structural applications, the matrix is usually
composed of a lighter metal such as magnesium, titanium, or aluminum. In high temperature applications, cobalt and cobalt-
nickel alloy matrices are common. Typical MMC's manufacturing is basically divided into three types: solid, liquid, and vapor.
Continuous carbon, silicon carbide, or ceramic bers are some of the materials that can be embedded in a metallic matrix
material. MMCs are re resistant, operate in a wide range of temperatures, do not absorb moisture, and possess better electrical
and thermal conductivity. They have also found applications to be resistant to radiation damage, and to not su er from
outgassing. Most metals and alloys make good matrices for composite applications.
Polymer matrix - Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) can be divided into three sub-types, namely, thermoset, thermoplastic,
and rubber. Polymer is a large molecule composed of repeating structural units connected by covalent chemical bonds. PMC's
consist of a polymer matrix combined with a brous reinforcing dispersed phase. They are cheaper with easier fabrication
methods. PMC's are less dense than metals or ceramics, can resist atmospheric and other forms of corrosion, and exhibit
superior resistance to the conduction of electrical current.
