AN OVERVIEW: THE PROCESSING METHODS OF FIBER-REINFORCED POLYMERS (FRPS)

Abstract

A wide range of engineering applications adapts Fiber Reinforced Polymer composite due to its unparalleled advantages. Several promising literature reviews are available on the subject of Fiber-reinforced polymer composite. However, there is no study dedicated to the processing/ fabrication of Fiber-reinforced composite. This article mainly includes various types of processing methods (open and close mold) of FRPs and the future scope of the FRPs. Additionally, destructive, and non-destructive evaluation techniques that are used for conventional composites are included as well. Further, the content of this article reviews some fundamental studies on the subject of FRPs, the established concepts, and some existing contradictions related to the fundamental study that is reported by authors previously.
