CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS AND THEIR APPLICATION IN MODERN INDUSTRY

In this article, the general characteristics of composites and their application features in modern industry are studied. Composites are structures that combine the different properties of two or more materials of the same or different types into a single material for a specific purpose. The use of composite materials in various fields of industry began in the early 1940s. Due to their excellent properties, today composites are widely used in various industries, including aviation, defense, medicine, robotics, electric-electronics, construction, automobile, sports, food, agriculture, chemical and space industries.
