Characteristics properties of composite materials are:

1. Composite materials show good maintenance of very high strength even at extremely high temperature
2. They provide product design flexibility
3. They posses very high toughness and also show impact and shock resistance
4. They can withstand very high mechanical stress and temperature and show exceptionally high potential for abrasion and deformation resistance
5. They posses very high resistance to the effect of fire and chemical attacks.
6. Being light weight and easily fabricable, composites are also cost efficient.
7. They are least affected by the effect of nature for example weathering.
