Long fiber thermoplastics

From Plastics Wiki, free encyclopedia

Long fiber thermoplastics (LFT) are one of the fastest growing materials in the polymer composites industry. Their advantages of high specific tensile properties and recyclability have enabled them to replace metals and thermoset composites in several areas of daily life. Besides with the independence of choosing the reinforcement from a wide range of fibers and the matrix from a wide range of thermoplastics polymer in the LFTs, its property can be changed according to customer needs. It is the material that has already been deep inside the ocean and has been there in outer space too.
