Glass fiber reinforced plastics (FRP), also known as GFRP, is a
fiber-reinforced plastic, generally referred to the glass fiber
reinforced
unsaturated polyester, epoxy resin and phenolic resin matrix.The
reinforced plastics with glass fiber or its products as reinforcing
materials are
called glass fiber reinforced plastics or glass fiber reinforced
plastics, which are different from tempered glass.Due to the
different resins used,
there are polyester FRP, epoxy FRP, phenolic FRP.Light and hard,
not conductive, stable performance, high mechanical strength, less
recycling,
corrosion resistance.Can replace steel to manufacture machine parts
and automobile, ship housing, etc.FRP, commonly known as Fiber
Reinforced Plastics (FRP), or Fiber Reinforced Plastics.According
to the different fibers used, it can be divided into glass fiber
reinforced
composite plastics (GFRP), carbon fiber reinforced composite
plastics (CFRP), boron fiber reinforced composite plastics, etc.It
is a composite
material with glass fiber and its products (glass cloth, tape,
felt, yarn, etc.) as reinforcing material and synthetic resin as
matrix material.Fiber
reinforced composite is composed of reinforced fiber and
matrix.Fiber (or whisker) diameter is very small, generally under
10 m, less defects
and small, fracture strain of about 30 parts per thousand, is
brittle material, easy to damage, fracture and corrosion.Compared
with fiber, matrix
strength and modulus are much lower, but can withstand large
strain, often with viscoelastic and elastoplastic, is a ductile
material.
