Typical applications of long glass fiber reinforced plastics in the automotive industry
2023-07-04
Long fibre reinforced thermoplastics (LFT) is the most commonly used base resin for LFT, followed by PP, PA and also PBT, PPS, PPA, TPU and other resins. It is worth mentioning that different fibers are needed for different resins to achieve better results. Development of LFT In 1980, Polymer Composites Corporation (PCI), USA, was the first to propose the theoretical design concept of LFT, and con...
