Opportunities in Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites 2003-2008
Lucintel, June 2003, Pages: 240
The market for continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites has experienced exceptional growth in recent years with a global growth rate of 105% in last 5 years. The growth rate in 2002 was 93%.
Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites include a variety of products, including unidirectional prepregs, fabric based prepregs, narrow tapes, commingled fibers in roving and fabric forms, sheets, and rods. Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites have a history of about 20 years and it differs from discontinuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites such as LFRT and GMT in terms of fiber length. Historically, continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites were used in niche applications in aerospace and defense market. But in recent years, the market has exploded in automotive, sporting, transportation, industrial and other applications. Demand has been driven by a variety of aerospace, automotive and truck applications. However, continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites are even finding their way into furniture, fastener, medical, marine, and other applications. Airbus has projected to increase the use of thermoplastic composites by 20% every year.
Common reinforcements used with thermoplastic composites are E-glass, carbon and aramid. Resins typically selected are polypropylene (PP), Nylon, PPS, PEEK, PC, and PEI.
In an industry that is increasingly looking to the developing markets to sustain long-term growth, “Opportunities in continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites 2003-2008” is the only publication in the world to provide up to date information on the state of the emerging markets in thermoplastic composites. Never before there has been a report addressing the markets, opportunities, materials and technology issues of the continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites industry. This unique report from us will provide you with all the valuable information and tools that you may need in operating your business successfully.
