Abstract
|
Global knowledge of environmental issues has resulted in the development of sustainable and
environment-friendly green composite materials, which are recyclable and renewable resources
based. The green composite materials can be metallic, polymer and cement based. Green
metal-matrix composites have achieved widespread interest in academic and industries for
numerous applications in the last few years due to their advantageous of physical and
mechanical properties. This chapter provides information on chemical composition, physical and
mechanical properties of different green reinforcement in metal matrix composites. The
applications of different green metal matrix composites such as Aluminium and Magnesium
composites and also the major techniques for fabricating these materials and research areas for
further improvement are highlighted in this chapter.
