Copper matrix composites (CMCs) are engineered materials in which a copper matrix is reinforced by ceramic particles, carbon-based nanomaterials or other high-strength inclusions to enhance mechanical ...

It's taken a long time to tweak ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) so they can be produced in high volumes, but the time has finally come. Aircraft engine leader GE Aviation has broken ground on the ...

As opposed to conventional metal alloys, metal matrix composites (MMCs) possess inimitable physical, thermal, electrical, chemical, and mechanical properties that make them most suitable in today’s ...

The class of materials known as ceramic matrix composites, or CMCs, shows considerable promise for providing fracture-toughness values similar to those for metals such as cast iron. Two kinds of ...
