Ceramic Matrix Composite
In materials science ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are a subgroup of composite materials and a subgroup of ceramics. They consist of ceramic fibers embedded in a ceramic Matrix (composite), matrix. The fibers and the matrix both can consist of any ceramic material, including carbon and carbon fibers. Introduction The motivation to develop CMCs was to overcome the problems associated with the conventional technical ceramics like alumina, silicon carbide, aluminum nitride, silicon nitride or zirconia – they fracture easily under mechanical or thermo-mechanical loads because of cracks initiated by small defects or scratches. The crack resistance is very low, as in glass. To increase the crack resistance or fracture toughness, particles (so-called Monocrystalline whisker, monocrystalline ''whiskers'' or ''platelets'') were embedded into the matrix. However, the improvement was limited, and those products found application only in some ceramic cutting tools. The integration of ...

Reinforced Carbon–carbon
Carbon fibre reinforced carbon (CFRC), carbon–carbon (C/C), or reinforced carbon–carbon (RCC) is a composite material consisting of carbon (fiber), carbon fiber reinforcement in a matrix of graphite. It was developed for the Atmospheric entry, reentry vehicles of intercontinental ballistic missiles, and is most widely known as the material for the nose cone and wing leading edges of the Space Shuttle orbiter. Carbon-carbon brake discs and brake pads have been the standard component of the brake, brake systems of Formula One racing cars since the late 1970s; the first year carbon brakes were seen on a Formula One car was 1976. Carbon–carbon is well-suited to structural applications at high temperatures, or where thermal shock resistance and/or a low coefficient of thermal expansion is needed. While it is less brittle than many other ceramics, it lacks impact resistance; Space Shuttle Columbia, Space Shuttle ''Columbia'' was Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, destroyed during ...
