    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntactic_foam

    Syntactic foam, shown by scanning electron microscopy, consisting of glass microspheres within a matrix of epoxy resin.. Syntactic foams are composite materials synthesized by filling a metal, polymer, [1] cementitious or ceramic matrix with hollow spheres called microballoons [2] or cenospheres or non-hollow spheres (e.g. perlite) as aggregates.

    Fracture surface of a fiber-reinforced ceramic composed of SiC fibers and SiC matrix. The fiber pull-out mechanism shown is the key to CMC properties. CMC shaft sleeves. In materials science ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are a subgroup of composite materials and a subgroup of ceramics. They consist of ceramic fibers embedded in a ceramic matrix.

  5. Ceramic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic

    Ceramic material is an inorganic, metallic oxide, nitride, or carbide material. Some elements, such as carbon or silicon, may be considered ceramics. Ceramic materials are brittle, hard, strong in compression, and weak in shearing and tension. They withstand the chemical erosion that occurs in other materials subjected to acidic or caustic ...
