Heterogeneous materials refer to materials that are composed of more than one type of constituent or phase. These materials can exhibit a wide range of physical and mechanical properties due to the interactions between the different phases. Research in this area focuses on understanding the behavior of heterogeneous materials, predicting their properties, and developing new materials with tailored properties for specific applications. This field is interdisciplinary, involving materials science, engineering, physics, chemistry, and biology. Techniques such as microscopy, spectroscopy, and computational modeling are commonly used to study heterogeneous materials. Applications of heterogeneous materials research can be found in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, electronics, and biomedical devices.
