Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP), also Fibre-reinforced plastic, is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres. The fibres are usually glass, carbon, or aramid, although other fibres such as paper or wood or asbestos have been sometimes used.

In materials science, a polymer matrix composite (PMC) is a composite material composed of a variety of short or continuous fibers bound together by a matrix of organic polymers. PMCs are designed to transfer loads between fibers of a matrix.

Of all the methods, fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRPC) are known to have high stiffness, strength, damage tolerance, fatigue resistance and corrosion resistance. FRPCs are produced by adding fibers or particles into the thermoplastic matrix to improve the mechanical strength of the printed components [ 13 ].

Fiber-reinforced polymer composite offers not only high strength to weight ratio, but also reveals exceptional properties such as high durability; stiffness; damping property; flexural strength; and resistance to corrosion, wear, impact, and fire.
