In addition to being lightweight, high stiffness is also a key contributor to the success of long carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastics. Long fiber reinforced thermoplastics are an excellent option to consider for metal replacement at a fraction of the weight.

One approach is to substitute metals with reinforced thermoplastics. Injection Molding - Thermoplastics Injection molding creates molded parts by injecting heated, molten plastic materials into a mold, which are then cooled and solidified. This method is used for various polymers, including long fiber reinforced thermoplastics (LFRT or LFT).

Is there a difference between polymer composites, thermoset composites, and thermoplastic composites? Polymer composites can be thermoset or thermoplastic, so thermoset composites and thermoplastic composites are both types of polymer composites. The main difference between a thermoset and thermoplastic is a thermoset cannot be reshaped after it’s formed, cured, and cooled while thermoplastics can be reheated and re-formed.
