Abstract

Present scenario of growing development demands more sophisticated and engineered materials to facilitate the
lifestyle and to meet the challenges in the establishment of colonies in space. The advancements in composite
technology meet the growing demands. Composites are the engineered material for future. There are many
scopes in composites with various emerging nanotechnology and smart materials. This paper is a brief review of
the composite's concept and their types. The differentiation between the electronically conducting polymers and
conducting polymer composites are also discussed along with their contemporary applications.
