Abstract

We devote this chapter to some nonconventional composites. Nonconventional composites include nanocomposites (polymer, metal, and ceramic matrix), self-healing composites, self-reinforced composites, biocomposites, and laminates made of bidimensional layers. These topics are in the early stages of their development but they are potentially quite important. We provide below a brief description of these topics.
