Abstract
Currently, the application of composite materials has been ubiquitous in defence, automobile, aerospace, sports, household products and medical equipment. The composite materials were made up from two major phases called as fibre as reinforcement and polymeric matrix. The combination of both phases allows the material to be lightweight and high strength to be implemented in wide applications. Most of composite materials are commercially available in vast sources including synthetic (man-made) and natural-based materials. This chapter elaborates on the background and types of composites which are commercially available. Moreover, the processing and manufacturing of the composites are discussed comprehensively at the end of the manuscript.
