A REVIEW OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS: HISTORY, TYPES, ADVANTAGES, AND APPLICATIONS OVER TRADITIONAL MATERIALS

Today composite materials have changed all the material engineering. The evolution of composite materials have given an opportunity to various designers to use new and better materials resulting in cost reduction, increase in efficiency and better utilization of available resources. Composite materials have played an important role throughout human history, from housing early civilizations to enabling future innovations. Composites offer many benefits such as the key among them are corrosion resistance, design flexibility, durability, light weigh, and strength. Composite have their own applications in daily lives such as products that are used in constructions, medical applications, oil and gas, transportation, sports, aerospace industries, automobile sector, manufacturing industries and many more. This paper presents the general review of composite material, overview of history of composite materials in conducted, demonstrate the advantages of the composites over the conventional materials, and also future demand of composite materials towards industrial environment.
