The class of materials known as ceramic matrix composites or cmcs shows considerable promise for providing fracture toughness values similar to those for metals such as cast iron.
Ceramic matrix composites cmcs are a subgroup of composite materials as well as a subgroup of ceramics they consist of ceramic fibers embedded in a ceramic matrix.
Industrial ceramics are commonly understood to be all industrially used materials that are inorganic nonmetallic solids.
Ceramic matrix composites cmcs generally consist of ceramic fibers or whiskers in a ceramic matrix.
Usually they are metal oxides that is compounds of metallic elements and oxygen but many ceramics.
Such fabrication routs are successfully employed for preparing composites reinforced with a discontinuous phase particulate or short fibers.
