Heat deflection temperatures (HDT), which provide an indication of short-term load carrying ability, increase significantly in fiber-reinforced materials over those of unmodified polymers. Fiber reinforcement significantly stiffens and strengthens polymers to combat slippage in their molecular chains as they are subjected to long-term loadings. When selecting an appropriate long fiber composite, verify that the matrix resin is compatible with the intended usage environment and operating conditions your application will be used in, even if it’s intermittent exposure, to ensure compatibility with life cycle expectations.
