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.

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
It is 0.25
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.
Autoclaves are widely used to cure composites and in the vulcanization of rubber.
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)

Two major uses are chemical storage tank construction and wind turbine blades. They are also used increasingly in aircraft construction.
The population of Scaled Composites is 200.
Scaled Composites was created in 1982.
Firehole Composites was created in 2000.
Combination of two or more materials
Because, for some uses, composites offer the best characteristics, like best strength-to-weight-ratio.

Oh sure. Carbon fiber frames are composites, and quite popular.
