An acceptable composite material for use in engineering applications should satisfy the following three basic requirements [1]: (i) to consist of at least two physically distinct and mechanically separable materials, which, depending on their properties and amounts used, are called matrix and reinforcing component; (ii) there must be a possibility for its preparation by admixing of the matrix and reinforcement components (sometimes preceded or accompanied by some special treatment so as to achieve optimum properties); and (iii) the final material is expected to possess several properties that are superior to those of the individual components, i.e., some synergistic effect should be present.
