But choosing which composite material out of the spectrum of reinforcement and matrix combinations—from short to long to continuous fibers, and thermoset to thermoplastic resin formulations—is not so simple. Continuous fiber reinforced thermoset materials perform well in applications such as composite springs and archery bow limbs where consistent flexural performance is needed, and electrical transmission and distribution components where lightweight strength and weatherability are critical.  White Paper: CFRTC Performance Advantages & Applications
