Composites are combinations of materials that produce properties inaccessible in any one material. A classic example of a composite is fibreglass - plastic fibres woven with glass to add strength to hockey sticks or the hull of a boat. Unlike the well-established techniques for producing fiberglass and other macroscale composites, however, there aren't general schemes available for making nanoscale composites...
