Combining strengths is helpful in many instances – like the different positions on a soccer team, mixing several ingredients to bake a cake, and blending materials to manufacture a wind turbine blade!

Composite materials are substances made from combining two or more materials that have different properties on their own – in order to maximize desired properties (like strength or flexibility ) in the resulting material.
