Long fiber reinforced thermoplastic (LFRT) or Long Fiber Thermoplastic (LFT) or Long Fiber Composite is a fiber reinforced injection moldable thermoplastic material.
They are frequently used to replace metal for applications in which light weighting, improved impact strength, elastic modulus, and material strength are required.

A 25 mm wide strip of TPE is cut and pulled at a 90° angle to the substrate using an Instron tensile tester.
ENGINEERING PLASTIC SUBTRATES There are a number of plastic substrates that are used for various consumer applications.
In addition, various rigid thermoplastics can have reinforcements and/or additives, such as fillers and fibers or color masterbatches, which not only can alter the resultant properties of the substrate, but also the surface chemistry.
