Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel group of related processes referred to generally as the dynamically forced wetting of materials. This novel group of processes has been used, for example, to form composite bodies. However, the present invention focuses on certain novel characteristics of the dynamically forced wetting of materials to produce useful materials in a new and unexpected manner. The products produced according to the present invention are, typically, formed under the application of pressure, which is applied to a particular combination of materials which are arranged in a specific manner. In the most preferred embodiments of the present invention, relatively high pressures are developed by suitable constriction means which either naturally occur during infiltration and/or are provided separately. The constriction means are provided to assist in achieving the required conditions which result is the dynamically forced wetting of materials.
