Fiber-Reinforced Polymer
Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) is a composite material made by combining a polymer matrix with fibers, such as glass, carbon, or aramid. This combination enhances the material's strength, stiffness, and durability, making it suitable for various applications, including construction, automotive, and aerospace industries. FRP is lightweight and resistant to corrosion, which contributes to its growing popularity.
The manufacturing process of FRP typically involves layering the fibers within the polymer resin, which is then cured to form a solid structure. This technique allows for the creation of complex shapes and designs, providing engineers and designers with flexibility in their projects. FRP is often used in applications like bridge reinforcement, wind turbine blades, and sports equipment.
