Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are materials with structural and functional attributes. The types of ceramic-matrix composites include, amongst the most important: Al2O3-ZrO2 composites, SiC particulate/Si3N4 matrix composites, SiC whisker /Al2O3 matrix composites, SiC whisker/Si3N4 matrix composites, continuous fiber/glass matrix composites, carbon/carbon composites, SiC/SiC composites and oxide/oxide composites. Albeit the design philosophy was initially oriented towards toughening CMCs, considering structural applications, nowadays, and owing to the growing demand for modern engineering applications, researchers are paying attention to the functional features. Current research and development of composite materials has paid special attention to the design and fabrication of CMCs having phases at the nanometer scale. Recent scientific and technological publications on the subject include Li3V2(PO4)3/C composite cathode for Li ion battery and Ni-SiO2 nanocomposite for MISFET gate dielectric. Based on the current literature, in this contribution, authors present a review on the state-of-the-art in the development, processing, characterization and applications of ceramic-matrix composites.
