Fiber-reinforced polymer composites combine thermoset
or thermoplastic resins with fiber reinforcement, the resulting
product having substantially different properties than the
individual components.
THERMOPLASTIC
The matrix material of a composite can be a thermoset or a thermoplastic
THERMOSET THERMOPLASTIC
A thermoset is a cross-linked polymer that cannot
be reshaped after it’s formed, cured, and cooled.
