Why are synthetic rubber not composites?

Why are synthetic rubber not composites?

Answer:

Materials (Composite) is a material consisting of two or more than two different materials which, in physical or chemical ways, macroscopically form new properties.
The composite material is formed by composite technology to a certain combination of two or more than two kinds of different properties and different forms of constituent materials of a multiphase material, which can not only maintain the main features of the original component materials, has demonstrated the new performance of the original component materials are not. There is no reinforcing phase in synthetic rubber
Synthetic rubber is a synthetic, highly resilient polymer. Also known as synthetic elastomer, is one of the three major synthetic materials, its yield is only lower than synthetic resins (or plastics), synthetic fiber.
Various materials in the performance complement each other, and produce synergistic effect, so that the comprehensive performance of composite material is better than the original material, and meet a variety of different requirements. The matrix materials of composite materials are divided into two major categories: metal and nonmetal. Metal matrix commonly used aluminum, magnesium, copper, titanium and its alloys. The non-metallic matrix mainly includes synthetic resin, rubber, ceramic, graphite, carbon and so on. Reinforcing materials mainly include glass fiber, carbon fiber, boron fiber, aramid fiber, silicon carbide fiber, asbestos fiber, whisker, wire and hard fine particles, etc..
Composite material: material consisting of two or more than two different materials, consisting of macroscopic or physical composition, with new properties. Various materials in the performance complement each other, and produce synergistic effect, so that the comprehensive performance of composite material is better than the original material, and meet a variety of different requirements.Synthetic rubber is a highly elastic material with reversible deformation based on synthetic polymers. Not made up of two or more than two different materials,
