In a two-component composition, the base paste contains the monomer and the catalyst paste contains the catalyst, which after mixing of the catalyst paste with the base paste, initiates the metathesis reaction of the olefinic substrate.

First, in complexity, is developing a two component composition, such as a blue made using ammonium perchlorate + copper(ll) benzoate [Bleser]. 

Since BCZY15 behaves approximately as a combination of the two component compositions, the magnitudes of the BaCOs-presence temperature range and high-temperature transition hysteresis are approximately equal to the greater of the two...

As shown in Fig. 8.9A, a full-color photonic crystal device was designed and fabricated in a form of electrochemical cell (Arsenault et al., 2007). The device was based on a two-component composite, that is, silica microspheres and polyferrocenylsilane (PFS). The silica microspheres with an ordered self-assembly array were deposited on ITO glass substrate and served as the inactive structural scaffold. PFS with pendant unsaturated C=C bonds were incorporated into the lattice spacing of silica microspheres and polymerized...

In the case of two-component composites such deflashing steps may become critical, if the components have different coefficients of thermal expansion and becanse of a strong increase of brittleness in case of thermoplastic substrates. 

It was realised by Takayanagi [50] that oriented highly crystalline polymers with a clear lamellar texture might be modelled in terms of a two-component composite in which the alternating layers corresponded to the crystalline and amorphous phases [51]. The model was later extended to include a parallel component in addition to that in series, and was applied first to describe the relaxation behaviour of amorphous polymers with two distinct phases, and later to crystalline polymers in which the parallel component represented either interlamellar crystalline bridges or amorphous tie molecules threading through the amorphous phase. 

A two-component composite consists of a matrix and a filler, which may be in the form of long or short fibers, large or small particles, or laminates. The theory of composite materials is well documented. For this discussion it is sufficient to simply describe composites by the so-called rule of mixtures, stated as... 

Two component composite spinning. Based on Bobkowicz and Bobkowicz (1970a). 

In the micromechanical model presented, like most classical micromechanics models for two component composites (Christensen 1979), we have assumed perfect interfacial adhesion and absence of physical or chemical interactions of constituents at the interface. Additionally, we assumed perfect oriented fibers in the matrix. The validity of these assumptions in our model will be one of the tasks to be undertaken for future studies on this subject. For example, we have not taken into account the fact that transesterification reaction might occur during the processing of TP/LCP blends, as well as non-perfect fiber orientation. According to the literature, transesterification reaction between the LCP and TP molecules could lead to enhanced compatibility between the polymer blend constituents. 

For a two-component composite with spherical inclusions in a host material, the so-called Clausius-Mossotti model (see Berryman, 1995) results in... 

As a matter of fact, the described results (Table 12.4) help us in the best way to understand the important difference between PPCs and SPCs. In the two cases, we have the same reinforcing element—PVDF nanofibrils (Fig. 12.5b) dealing with PPCs the nanofibrils reinforce the LLDPE matrix (a two-component composite).
