    Improved Adhesion in Pultruded Composite Materials and Test Methods for Evaluation •    Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Application Development and Implementation: Case Study Review •    Overmolding with Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites for Selective Reinforcement •    Test Sample Preparation of Pultruded Unidirectional Carbon Parts – Issues in Machining Practice and Alternatives The Avient advanced composites portfolio includes Polystrand™ continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastics, Gordon Composites™ thermoset barstock and laminates, and Glasforms™ thermoset pultrusions.

With more than 50% weight savings compared to plywood, these continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite sandwich panels offer boat manufacturers a lighter, more efficient alternative to traditional marine construction materials. Hammerhead Marine Composite Panels are made from continuous glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic face sheets and polyester foam cores. In addition to Hammerhead Marine Composite Panels, Avient will highlight Polystrand™ continuous fiber reinforced unidirectional tapes and multi-axial laminates at its IBEX booth 1248 in the Composites Pavilion, October 3-5 in Tampa, Florida.

In researching composites, you may see them described as continuous fiber reinforced composites. A continuous fiber reinforced composite is a type of FRP where unidirectional fibers run continuously through the end product in the same direction. Overall, fibers can be continuous, long, or short in length.
