Abstract
A transparent reinforced composite material. An illustrative embodiment of the reinforced composite material includes a polymeric matrix, at least one low-density region including a first plurality of glass elements having a first packing density provided in the polymeric matrix and at least one high-density region including a second plurality of glass elements having a second packing density greater than the first packing density provided in the polymeric matrix. A method for reinforcing a composite material is also disclosed.
