Emerging Trends in Reinforced Plastics Technology
Reinforced plastics are composed of polymers with aromatic polyamide fibres or carbon added to them. These fibres add compression, strength, electrical strength, and heat tolerance, along with maintaining the lightweight qualities of the plastic.
Certain emerging trends and advances in reinforced plastic technologies include:
- Increase in the efficiency of complex fibre-reinforced plastic manufacturing through technologies such as Automated Tape Laying, Automated Fibre Placement, and in situ consolidation methods. These technologies offer greater scalability and precision, promoting mass production of high-performance reinforced plastic components for aerospace, automotive and industrial applications.
- The durability, versatility, and potential for customisation of reinforced plastics make it extremely popular in sectors looking for durable, lightweight and high-performance materials.
