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 can be used for forming composite bodies and/or for dispersing particles in a medium to result in composite products (e.g., paint). Particularly, the present invention focuses on the production of various composite products comprising binder or matrix materials such as polymer, polymer-hybrids, metals and related materials, of various chemistries, all of which materials when combined together with another material (e.g., one or more filler materials), can form various novel composite products. The composite products of the present invention are typically formed under the application of at least some pressure and can be of virtually any desired shape. In the most preferred embodiments of the present invention, relatively high pressures are developed by suitable constriction means which naturally occur during infiltration and/or are provided separately. The constriction means are provided to assist in achieving the required conditions according to the present invention. The combination of relatively high pressures and relatively short infiltration times (and sometimes with relatively rapid quenching or cooling) result in a variety of novel composite products according to the invention. The composite products can be formed by batch processes, semi-continuous processes and/or continuous processes.
