Mixture vs. Composite — What's the Difference?

In chemistry, a mixture is a material made up of two or more different substances which are not chemically combined. A mixture is the physical combination of two or more substances in which the identities are retained and are mixed in the form of solutions, suspensions and colloids.Mixtures are one product of mechanically blending or mixing chemical substances such as elements and compounds, without chemical bonding or other chemical change, so that each ingredient substance retains its own chemical properties and makeup.

Made up of several parts or elements

The act or process of mixing

Relating to or denoting a classical order of architecture consisting of elements of the Ionic and Corinthian orders.

The condition of being mixed

Relating to or denoting plants of the daisy family (Compositae ).

A combination of ingredients used in cooking or baking.

A structure or entity made up of distinct components

(India) A mix of different dry foods as a snack, especially chevda or Bombay mix.

A material in which two or more distinct, structurally complementary materials, usually a matrix material and a reinforcing material, are combined to produce structural or functional properties not present in any individual component.
