The paper investigates the growing popularity of composite materials concentrating on explanation of their advantages, especially taking into consideration composite materials used in the aerospace industry such as polymer matrix composites, metal matrix composites, ceramic matrix composites and smart composite materials. Various types of matrices and fibers are described with special emphasis on nanotechnology and opportunities to improve the properties of composites. The paper also presents selected examples of applications in the aerospace industry.

During the past 25 years materials scientists have been able to make a major change in the way materials are considered for application. In the past designers have worked with data representing the properties of homogeneous, isotropic materials and designed their components to fit written accepted ranges of “design allowables”. More recently, however, the concept of composite materials has permitted almost limitless tailoring of composites to create entirely new designs never previously possible. By choice of types of material constituents, their relative percentages and their orientation the designer can now work closely with the materials scientist to optimize system performance. This philosophy has firmly taken hold in the family of fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites and more recently has made metal matrix composites an industrial reality.

Composites, generally, consist of two phase i.e. matrix and reinforcement. Here in this work additional phase in terms of micro/nano particles was added in the fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composites and its effect on the final properties of composites was studied. Composites were prepared using sol derived from Tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and Dimethyldiethoxysilane (DEDMS), and polycarbosilane (PCS) as matrix precursors and SiC fabric as reinforcement. To some composites another phase of solid, micro/nano powder precursor of SiC was added to decrease number of impregnation cycles. Latter composites resulted in higher density. Green composites were post-cured and pyrolyzed. Some of the composites were heated to 1500 °C in argon atmosphere. Composites were characterized for density, microstructure and mechanical properties. It revealed that the resulting matrix was solid glass and addition of SiC powder facilitated the rapid densification. Composites prepared with SiC nanoparticles as well as SiC fabric as reinforcement exhibit higher flexural strength than those made without nanoparticles. The fracture behaviour is also seen to be of mixed mode failure type.
