Why I Love FRP Composite Materials ? (And You Should, Too!)

Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) or Glass reinforced Polymer (GRP) is an extremely versatile material. FRP composites and their properties can be specifically tailored for the end product. This is accomplished by adjusting the :
1.Resin matrix (epoxy, polyester, vinyl ester, etc)
 2.Fiber reinforcement (carbon fiber, fiberglass, Kevlar, etc)
3.Amount of fiber reinforcement used 4.Orientation of the fiber (Unidirectional, woven, 0/90, etc)
5.Fabrication process (Hand laminating, closed molding, pultrusion, etc)
6.Fillers or additives (Fire resistant materials, UV blockers, etc.)
These many variables allow engineers and designers to manipulate the FRP composites depending on the application. This also makes FRP composites an ideal material for a wide range of applications such as in aviation and automobile industries.

By writing above 100 words on this topic i am able to earn 10 marks in GS.
