Design engineers know that when high strength-to-weight ratio is required, fiber reinforced polymer FRP) composites are the material of choice. Long and short fiber reinforced thermoplastics are well suited for applications requiring high strength-to-weight ratios as well as complex part geometries, such as automotive components and sporting goods. These materials can be formed into multi-ply laminates to offer off-axis performance, post-molded into complex shapes, and overmolded with traditional thermoplastics to provide localized reinforcement in specific part locations.
