The name 'Asteraceae' is derived from the type genus Aster, while 'Compositae', an older but still valid name, means composite and refers to the peculiar inflorescence.
In a chemical context, this term refers to a substance that is made up of two or more constituents which have much different chemical and physical properties. The constituents tend to remain visially distinct too. This applies to fibre-glass, plywood, etc.
Normally a composite material that includes nano scale ferritic compounds within the matrix material
No. Composites are highly resistant to rust and corrosion.
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

Composites are made from two constituent materials. The two materials have different chemical and physical characteristics from one another, and the composites they form have different characteristics from both of them.
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
Oh sure. Carbon fiber frames are composites, and quite popular.
