Prasad, N.S.K.
Human endeavour towards continuous improvement in the&#13;
quality of life has resulted in a host of new materials and new&#13;
technologies. Material surfaces get exposed to various en-vironments&#13;
and also come in contact with other surfaces,&#13;
similar or dissimilar. Tailoring of material surfaces to suit&#13;
critical areas of technology has become an art. With the&#13;
emergence of new fibres of plastics, glass and carbon steel is&#13;
no longer the strongest material. An imaginative blending of&#13;
materials with tailored surfaces and incorporation of reinfor-cement&#13;
materials in fibrous and nO:l-fibrous plans have&#13;
created 'Hardy Composite3'. The composite systems are&#13;
made up of metal, polymer or a ceramic matrix, a particulate&#13;
or fibrous filler acting as reinforcement and a compatibilizer&#13;
which tailors the surface and acts as an effective interface&#13;
between the matrix and the reinforcement. The inherent&#13;
strength of composites and their ability to withstand critical&#13;
environment have revolutionized our transportation and&#13;
communication systems, engineering goods, chemical equip-ment&#13;
and packaging materials. Human organ prostheses&#13;
have also become versatile by the availability of these new&#13;
materials. The hardy composites, apart from their impact on&#13;
our present lifestyles, breathe the message that 'unity is&#13;
strength' and that diverse people can intermingle effectively&#13;
resulting in composite cultures.
