Design engineers know that when high strength-to-weight ratio is required, fiber reinforced polymer FRP) composites are the material of choice. Two characteristics often used to compare the attributes of FRP materials are performance and design flexibility. The continuous fiber reinforcement provides strong and stiff material performance, while the thermoplastic resin matrix enables design flexibility through post-forming.
