Abstract

One of the key engineering materials invented and explored by researchers in recent times is Composite materials because of their wide range of applications starting from transportation to aerospace, leisure industries and electronic industries. The development of various classes of composite materials requires derivations and evolution of several processing techniques to achieve successful incorporation and desired distribution of reinforcements throughout the matrix. In this chapter, an overview of the processing of various classes of composites viz. “Metal Matrix Composites” (MMCs), “Ceramic Matrix Composite” (CMCs), and “Polymer Matrix Composites” (PMCs) are presented along with recent trends in processing.
