Also known as composite or composite ceramics, it refers to a new materials that is introduced one or more heterogeneous, heteromorphic, and heterotropic materials into the ceramics matrix, and is made by appropriate composition technology, which improves some characteristics of single-phase ceramics, such as reinforcement and toughening. It is a multi phase materials. Broadly speaking, ceramics is a synonym of inorganic nonmetallic materials, so multiphase composite ceramics should include all inorganic nonmetallic materials as matrix prepared multiphase materials, that is, inorganic nonmetallic materials based multiphase materials, such as ceramic matrix composite, glass matrix composite, cement matrix composite, carbon matrix composite, as well as layered structures, gradient structures or mechanically mixed multiphase materials composed of more than two matrix phase, Such materials are collectively called multiphase composite ceramics.
