Composites are used in any application where improved properties are required over an existing material. As an example, polymer matrix composites are being used in aircraft to replace metals. This is because they have a higher strength to weight ratio and thus save fuel. They are also used to increase strength and improve corrosion resistance, because metals tend to corrode where composites do not.

What composites are found on mars?
water and air
What is the difference between synthetics and composites?
Composites means which is made of composition of two constituents where as synthetics is the combination of two or more parts, composites having constituents of different physical and chemical properties, where as in case of synthetics it can have same chemical or physical properties,in case of composites the ratio of material is maintained but it can not be in case of synthetics...e.g of synthetics is plastic, or composites is concrete
What is the Poisson ratio of carbon fibre reinforced composites?
It is 0.25
Do composites corrode?
Composites are typically resistant to corrosion because they are made up of different materials that can be chosen specifically to prevent or reduce corrosion. However, the specific construction of the composite, such as the type of matrix material used, can influence its resistance to corrosion. Regular maintenance and proper care are still important to maintain the longevity of composite materials.
What is the function of Autoclave?
Autoclaves are widely used to cure composites and in the vulcanization of rubber.
What are the uses of functional composites?
These can compose for repair health, reversible liquid adhesives also be phase composites and use nanocomposite which use dispersions providing longer life and resistance , ionic polymers for an environmental , conductive composites (insulators)

What are the uses of plastic composites?
Two major uses are chemical storage tank construction and wind turbine blades. They are also used increasingly in aircraft construction.

When was Firehole Composites created?
Firehole Composites was created in 2000.
What is hybrid composites and give some advantages of hybrid composites over normal composites?
Combination of two or more materials
Why you go for composite material instead of others?
Because, for some uses, composites offer the best characteristics, like best strength-to-weight-ratio.
