Abstract
A selection of open problems in the theory of composites is presented. Particular attention is drawn to the question of whether two-dimensional, two-phase composites with general geometries have the same set of possible effective tensors as those of hierarchical laminates. Other questions involve the conductivity and elasticity of composites. Finally, some future directions for wave and other equations are mentioned.
