Basics

Often reffered to as "Composites"
Materials produced from two or more constituent materials with notably different characteristics, that remain distinct in the final material
These are selected to have a complementing effect
Most Common Examples Are:
There are also less common composites:
- Basalt Fiber Reinforced Composites (similar to fiberglass (also look into if there is a slag/clinker based version)
- Mineral Fiber Reinforced Composites (Not common recently due to understandings of the hazards associated with Asbestos etc)
- Carbon-Carbon Composites
Engineered Wood Products are composites to a certain degree, but are typically treated/considered "wood"
Sandwich Panels
Fiber Reinforced Bars/Pipes
Need to find difference between mineral wool, rock wool, and basalt fiber wool (if any)
- This may help
