FRP is almost in everywhere in this
society, from basic organic materials such as adobe mud bricks to
complex composite materials such as fiberglass reinforced panels, in the
last centuries, composite materials evolved rapidly, and nowadays, a
life without composite materials would be unimaginable.
One
such evolution is the development of advanced reinforcements and
fabrics used in Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites. In the last
ten or twenty years, great advancements have been developed in fiber
type and properties.
Additionally, novel developments have been developed in fiber architecture and proprietary weaving techniques.
These
advancements allow for traditional materials such as steel and aluminum
to be replaced with fiber reinforced composites. One industry which is
beginning to adopt this transition of materials is the automotive
industry.
For
example, the U.S. Army uses 3D Glass Fabrics for its MATV defense
vehicles, specially designed for moving around in the rugged terrains of
Afghanistan. By using 3D Glass Fabrics, designers have achieved a
significant weight reduction of 75% of critical exposed parts of the
MATV.
Eco-friendliness,
safety and fuel-saving are key to modern day vehicle production.
Traditional heavy materials like steel do not contribute to this goal.
Therefore, the incorporation of light weight composite materials in
vehicles, such as fiberglass fabrics, is becoming a common design
practice for reducing vehicle weight and achieving fuel saving.
