Fiber composites, more commonly known as fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, are polymer materials that have been reinforced with fiber.
What are some common applications for polymer composites?
Polymer composites can be thermoset or thermoplastic, so thermoset composites and thermoplastic composites are both types of polymer composites.

Fiber reinforcement allows composites to retain more mechanical function at elevated temperatures and closer to the polymers glass transition temperature (Tg) than an unmodified polymer.
Composites using a semi-crystalline polymer matrix will retain some mechanical performance closer to the polymer’s glass transition temperature (Tg) than an amorphous polymer.

Polymers can improve heat management, reduce weight, and expand design freedom
Replacing aluminum heat sinks with polymer ones can greatly reduce both the total cost and weight of a part.
And remember that polymers can offer a way to achieve lighter weight and improved design capabilities in addition to managing heat.
