Composite materials consist of various components such as moist wood ,how will the internal resistance of this material behave?
If I want to study the resistance of composite materials, which topic should I study?

Generally, composites act as varistors - i.e. their resistance reduces as voltage increases. This is generic effect arising from many small (insulating) gaps found in most composites.
