Composites are a mix of two or more elements, generally it's two. They consist of a matrix (main element) which holds the second element (reinforcement) in place. The reinforcement is there to increase the strength of the matrix.
Example:
The maxtrix can be ceramics, polymers or metals.
The reinforcement could be fibers, particles, flakes or laminated.
When you hear "fiberglass" it's actually plastic reinforced with fibers made of glass. And that is a composite.
A ceramic is just another kind of material just like metals and polymers. So if you would reinforce some ceramic with steel particles, it would become a composite whose matrix is the ceramic and the reinforcement the steel particles.

What is the difference between blend and composite?
Composites are heterogeneous mixture But blends are homogeneous
What is the structural makeup of Ceramic Matrix composites and polymer matrix composites?
Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) consist of ceramic fibers embedded in a ceramic matrix, providing high temperature resistance and mechanical strength. Typically, they include materials like silicon carbide or alumina fibers reinforced in a ceramic material. In contrast, Polymer Matrix Composites (PMCs) feature polymer resins, such as epoxy or polyester, as the matrix, with reinforcing materials often consisting of glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are known for their lightweight characteristics and versatility, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
What is difference between spartec tile and ceramic tile?
The name. Spartek tile is a brand of tile and Ceramic tile is a type of tile.
What is the difference between composites and CNT stealth baseball bats?
composite is all composite and cnt is carbon nanotube stuff.
What is the difference between ceramic coated flat irons such as the Chi and solid ceramic plates?
Solid ceramic plates are better quality than ceramic coated. Ceramic coated flat irons will chip and flake over time and are more damaging on your hair.
What are the differences between ceramic and porcelin floor tiles?
The difference between ceramic and porcelin floor tiles is ceramic tyles are make of ceramic and porcelin tiles are made of porcelin. They both come in various sizes and styles. Ceramic tyles are usually better for floors and porcelin tiles are usually better for walls and showers.

What types of resin that use in an aircraft?
There are three main types of resin, known as Advanced Composite Materials (ACM), used in aircraft production. The three resins used in aircraft are Polymer Matrix Composites (PMCs), Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs), and Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs).
Difference between ABC and agc fuses?
ABC = Ceramic Body AGC = Glass Body
What is the difference between micro-fill composite and nano composite?
microfill composites are composites that contain very small glass fillers approx 0.04 micrometers that are very smooth and have excellent wear resistance. Nano fill composites have glass fillers that are even smaller in size which change the property of the composite.
