·         Laminates – Laminates are layers of materials joined by an organic adhesive.

·         Cladding – A laminar composite produced when a corrosion-resistant or high-hardness layer of a laminar composite formed onto a less expensive or higher-strength backing.

·         Bimetallic – A laminar composite material produced by joining two strips of metal with different thermal expansion coefficients, making the material sensitive to temperature changes.
