This document is a 2 credit course on composite materials taught by Rusnaldy, PhD at Diponegoro University's Industrial Engineering department. It introduces composites as materials composed of two or more individual materials like metals, ceramics, and polymers to achieve a combination of properties not found in single materials, incorporating the best characteristics of each component. One example is fiberglass, where small glass fibers are embedded in epoxy or polyester polymers, resulting in a material that is stiff, strong, flexible and ductile with low density by combining the glass fibers' strength and stiffness with polymers' ductility.

Composite A composite is composed of two (or more) individual materials, which come from metals, ceramics, and polymers. The design goal of a composite is to achieve a combination of properties that is not displayed by any single material, and also to incorporate the best characteristics of each of the component materials.
One of the most common and familiar composites is fiberglass, in which
small glass fibers are embedded within a polymeric material (normally an epoxy or polyester). The glass fibers are relatively strong and stiff (but also brittle), whereas the polymer is ductile (but also weak and flexible). Thus, the resulting fiberglass is relatively stiff, strong, flexible, and ductile. In addition, it has a low density
Composite Materials Are Multiphase Materials Obtained Through The Artificial Combination of Different Materials in Order To Attain Properties That The Individual Components by Themselves Cannot Attain
