Abstract
This chapter is dedicated to composites; the objective of composites is to benefit from the advantageous properties of each family of materials by combining them. The main types of composites are described and classified depending on the family of the matrix material: polymeric matrix composites, metallic matrix composites, and ceramic matrix composites (especially relevant in this last group is steel-concrete).
