Ceramic Matrix Composites
Composite materials are comprised of at least two parts: the reinforcement, which provides special mechanical properties such as stiffness or strength, and the matrix material, which holds everything together. Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are a special type of composite material in which both the reinforcement (refractory fibers) and matrix material are ceramics. In some cases the same kind of ceramic is used for both parts of the structure, and additional secondary fibers may also be included. Because of this, CMCs are considered a subgroup of both composite materials and ceramics.

Composite materials are comprised of at least two parts: the reinforcement, which provides special mechanical properties such as stiffness or strength, and the matrix material, which holds everything together. Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are a special type of composite material in which both the reinforcement (refractory fibers) and matrix material are ceramics. In some cases the same kind of ceramic is used for both parts of the structure, and additional secondary fibers may also be included. Because of this, CMCs are considered a subgroup of both composite materials and ceramics.
Ceramic matrix composites behave much differently from conventional ceramics, and are far different from the high-performance metal alloys that used to be implemented. Like ceramics, they are hard and stable at higher temperatures. But they are also very lightweight (one-third the weight of the nickel superalloys they often replace) and possess significantly greater fracture toughness and thermal shock resistance.
There is an extremely wide range of CMC applications, such as: Heat exchangers, Turbine blades, Stator vanes, High-performance braking systems, Immersion burner tubes, Bulletproof armor, Heating elements,etc. The list of uses is growing quickly, too. CMC components are used in Electrical Engineering, Spaceflight, Aviation, electrical, and electronics industries, just to name a few.
