The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is becoming increasingly commonplace across a wide range of industries and applications. From engineered, man-made, or natural fiber reinforcements to thermoset or thermoplastic resins, there is a lot to consider when selecting a composite material. Thermoplastics used in making composites range from polypropylene (PP), nylon (PA) and polycarbonate (PC) to polyester, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and polyetheretherketone (PEEK).
