Abstract

In today’s rapidly developing world of science and technology, the field of materials science is tremendously changing; new theoretical concepts, ideas, and technologies continue to emerge, and preparation of composites is a new trend. Composites are new materials obtained by optimizing the combination of two or more materials of completely different properties.
