Fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) refers to a composite material made from a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers. The polymer matrix can be made from various types of thermosetting or thermoplastic resins, while the fibers can be made from glass, carbon, aramid, or other materials.
The fibers provide strength and stiffness to the material, while the polymer matrix holds the fibers together and protects them from external forces. FRP materials are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and have high strength-to-weight ratios, making them ideal for various applications such as aerospace, automotive, construction, and marine industries.
FRP composites are widely used in applications where high strength and stiffness are required, and where traditional materials such as steel or aluminum may not be suitable due to their weight, corrosion, or other limitations.
