Abstract
This overview begins by considering the mature situation for polymer matrix composites (PMCs). After a further short section devoted to ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), the main text is devoted to the variety of routes available for processing metallic matrix composites (MMCs). These are divided into those where the main steps are performed in the solid state and those where the process route involves a stage where the matrix is molten. Some discussion is also given to the thermomechanical processing of MMCs and of their properties.
