| Pultruded
(as well as extruded) Fiber (glass fiber,
Kevlar and carbon fiber) Reinforced Plastics
(FRP) products are becoming popular as
structural material and a better alternative
to traditional steel, concrete and woods
in some particular applications due to
their special properties such as: high
strength, lightweight, excellent corrosion
resistance, colorful, electrically and
thermally insulating, the tailorability
of FRP, etc. FRP products are serving
as basic materials in a broad variety
of industries now.
A non exhaustive
