Compound Materials Mo6-L3a: What are Compound Materials?
Lesson 3

The individual materials of the composite material
remain separate within the finished structure, making
them different from mixtures and solid solutions.
In this topic, you will learn the following
lessons: They do not completely blend or lose their individual
identities; they combine and contribute their most
