Composites are materials composed of two or more different components. When polymers are combined with other materials, properties of individual polymers such as mechanical strength, surface characteristics, and biocompatibility can be improved, making it feasible to manufacture materials with excellent mechanical properties and biological activity. Polymer-based composites are commonly used in aerospace, automobile, military, and sports applications, and are increasingly being used in biomedicine for tissue engineering, wound dressings, drug release, regenerative medicine, dental resin composites, and surgical operations [1,2,3]. Research topics in this area cover technical issues of how best to integrate these materials and postintegration material properties.
