According to Materials Selection in Mechanical Design by M. Ashby (4th edition), hybrid materials are defined as “combinations of two or more materials assembled in such a way as to have attributes not offered by either one alone.” Similarly, Hybrid Polymer Composite Materials: Volume 1 – Structure and Chemistry defines hybrid materials as the combination of at least two different types of materials, forming a new material that inherits the properties of the constituents along with additional functionalities. As definitions may vary across sources, it is preferable to adopt a broad interpretation of hybrids—not limited to nanoscale hybrids, including a description of the four hybrid class (composite, cellular, sandwich, segmented) as defined by M.
