Soft polymers reinforce a new, bioinspired composite
Composites combine the desirable properties of several materials to exhibit enhanced physical, chemical, and mechanical properties that are different from their individual constituents. Some high-performance materials have been developed using this method. In the automobile, marine, and aerospace industries, such composites play key roles as they provide light-weight, superior mechanical and corrosion-resistant properties. Among metal-based composites, low-density aluminum metal matrix composites are of particular interest.
