Introduction
Hybrid materials have gained significant attention in recent years due to their unique combination of properties that can be tailored for specific mechanical applications. These materials are composed of two or more different materials that are combined at the micro or nanoscale to create a material with enhanced mechanical properties. The ability to design and control the properties of hybrid materials makes them attractive for a wide range of applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and biomedical.
This thesis aims to explore the use of hybrid materials for mechanical applications, focusing on their design, fabrication, and mechanical behavior. The research will investigate the potential of hybrid materials to improve the performance and efficiency of mechanical systems, as well as their impact on sustainability and environmental concerns.
