	Glass-reinforced plastic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), is a composite material or fibre reinforced plastic made of a plastic reinforced by fine fibers made of glass.
		Sailplanes have been built almost exclusively of reinforced plastic since the mid-1960s, with carbon, aramid and other fibres taking the place of glass in modern competition sailplanes, and with extensive use of high strength rovings.
		Like graphite-reinforced plastic, the composite material is commonly referred to by the name of its reinforcing fibers (fiberglass), an example of part-for-whole metonymy.

	Fibre reinforced plastic structures and method and apparatus for producing same - Patent 4417937
		Fibre reinforced plastic materials are currently finding wide application in the production of various structures such as panels, hoods, doors, tanks, boats and pipes which require such features as corrosion resistance and a high strength to weight ratio.
		Fibre reinforced plastics products made by the technique described herein comprise a plurality of fibrous strands embedded in a matrix of plastics material, the fibrous strands being in the form of cut fibre lengths lying essentially parallel to one another.
		Such structures are generally formed by placing resin coated high tensile strength filaments or fibres on suitable moulds or mandrels, and subsequently curing the resin and removing the fibre reinforced plastic part.

		Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP), a thermosetting resin combined with inorganic material such as glass fibre, is multi-purpose and used widely in the production of bathtubs, ships, tanks, construction material, and automotive parts.
		The mixed waste plastics were easy to handle when they were put in the kiln, and it was confirmed that they could be used as alternate materials and fuel for cement because they had little effect on kiln operation and cement quality.
		They built a full-scale experimental waste-plastic crushing plant to verify crushing technology, calorie regulating technology, and noise and dust control methods.

	Patents on Natural fibre Composites at Wageningen UR
		Commodity plastics such as PP and (HD)PE are successfully reinforced by several natural fibres types such as flax, hemp, jute, kenaf and sisal; in addition reject streams from the pulp and paper/fibre processing industries turned out excellent cheap raw material as fillers in plastics.
		When natural fibres are used it is important that during the extrusion process these fibres obtain and maintain a high aspect ratio so as to obtain a compounded material with mechanical properties comparable with those of materials containing glass fibres.
		The design of this process is such that during the continuous mixing the natural fibres are opened up to elementary fibres with a high aspect ratio, which are homogeneously distributed in the polymeric melt.
