Composite

A composite is a material made by combining two or more different substances to create something with better qualities than each alone. Typically, these components include a matrix (like a resin) that holds everything together, and reinforcement (like fibers) that provide strength and durability. Think of how fiberglass combines a plastic resin with glass fibers to make a strong, lightweight material. Composites are used in industries such as aerospace, sports equipment, and construction because they offer high strength-to-weight ratios and resistance to corrosion, making them efficient and durable solutions.
