Reinforced plastic is a composite material made by combining plastic with reinforcing fibers, such as glass or carbon. This combination enhances the strength, durability, and stiffness of the plastic, making it suitable for various applications, including automotive parts, construction materials, and sporting goods. The reinforcing fibers provide structural support, allowing reinforced plastic to withstand greater stress and impact compared to standard plastic. Common types of reinforced plastic include fiberglass and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), which are widely used in industries that require lightweight yet strong materials, such as aerospace and marine engineering.
