Self Reinforced Polymer Composites

摘要

The ESPRIT project part-funded by the European Commission with 12 partners from 8 European countries for the development of Self Reinforced Polymer composites (SRP's) ended in March 2012. In the first 2 years the partners developed a new material group which are all thermoplastic composites based on the principle of having a reinforcement and matrix of the same basic polymer family which offers the advantages of being lighter in weight having improved recyclability and improved impact resistance.
