ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method of forming a metal matrix composite (MMC) comprising a metal matrix and a fibrous material embedded therein, the method comprising bringing the metal matrix into the molten state and contacting the fibrous material with the metal matrix in the molten state in a directionally controlled manner, whereby the Young's modulus of the resultant cooled MMC is controlled in one or more particular direction and optionally at one or more particular location.
