Composites, by definition, are composed of more than one component. Mixture rules say that, while the ratios of one component to another can vary, there is a limit on the physical properties of ...

Composite materials have their microstructure designed in terms of their macroscopic constituents, e.g. fibers in a homogeneous matrix material. By controlling the choice of fibers, their volume ...

This can lead to a small number of mixture components driving the formation of new phases. "It's surprising that even very small imbalances in the composition can be strongly amplified.
