THE TERM PHASE INDICATES A HOMOGENEOUS MATERIAL, SUCH AS A METAL OR CERAMIC IN WHICH ALL OF THE GRAINS HAVE THE SAME CRYSTAL STRUCTURE, OR A POLYMER WITH NO FILLERS. BY COMBINING THE PHASES, USING METHODS YET TO BE DESCRIBED, A NEW MATERIAL IS CREATED WITH AGGREGATE PERFORMANCE EXCEEDING THAT OF ITS PARTS. THE EFFECT IS SYNERGISTIC.

5. Discontinuous Fibers (Whisker)
DISCONTINUOUS FIBERS (CHOPPED SECTION OF CONTINUOUS FIBERS) ARE SHORT LENGHTS (L/D = ROUGHLY 100). AN IMPORTANT TYPE OF DISCONTINUOUS FIBERS ARE WHISKER – HAIR- LIKE SINGLE CRYSTAL WITH DIAMETERS DOWN TO ABOUT 0,001 mm (0,00004 in) AND VERY HIGH STRENGHT.
