Trends and Forecast (2013 - 2019)
Reinforced plastics are a type of composite material which incorporates additional substances in the
form of fillers that aim to improve the structural and physical properties of a base plastic material.
These
fillers are generally in the form of fibers and are made of materials such as glass, aramid, carbon,
cellulosic derivatives, asbestos, and in some cases even metal fibers.
The presence of these fillers helps
to give the plastics better strength, resistance to wear and tear, resistance to impact and such other
value additions in their physical characteristics, making them more durable and capable of being tailormade for a wide range of applications.
The most common polymers used as the matrix for these fillers
are epoxy resin, vinyl compounds, formaldehyde resins, and many others.
With today’s technology,
various specialty and functional polymers are also being combine
