For example, component B is present in a content ranging from 20.0 to 55.0 wt. % based on the total weight of the composite material; for example, from 22.0 to 50.0 wt. %; for example, from 25.0 to 45.0 wt. %. For example, component B is present in a content of at least 20.0 wt. % based on the total weight of the composite material; for example, at least 22.0 wt. % for example, at least 25.0 wt. %. For example, component B is present in a content of at most 55.0 wt. % based on the total weight of the composite material; for example, at most 50.0 wt. % for example, at most 45.0 wt. %.
For example, component B has a density of less than 4.0 g/cc; for example, less than 3.5 g/cc, for example, less than 3.2 g/cc. For example, less than 3.0 g/cc; for example, less than 2.9 g/cc.
For example, component B has a density of at least 0.8 g/cc; for example, at least 1.0 g/cc; for example, at least 1.5 g/cc; for example, at least 2.0 g/cc; for example, at least 2.2 g/cc.
For example, the metal-coated particles are or comprise metal-coated fibres with a length to diameter ratio of at least 5; with preference, the length to diameter ratio is at least 10 and/or the length to diameter ratio is at most 100. For example, the metal-coated particles are or comprise metal-coated fibres wherein the fibres are selected from glass fibres, carbon fibres, polymer fibres, natural fibres and any mixture thereof; with preference, the metal-coated particles are or comprise metal-coated glass-fibres.
