A research team affiliated with UNIST has introduced a technology that generates electricity from raindrops striking rooftops ...

FRP exhibits high levels of corrosion and chemical resistance. Unlike metal, it does not rust, nor does it rot like wood. This means that these composite materials are extremely durable with prolonged ...

Wood, steel, and concrete are commonly used materials for power poles. However, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) offers a relatively lightweight, safe, and resilient alternative, which also offers a ...

FRPCs are composed of fibers such as glass, carbon, or natural fibers embedded in a polymer matrix, such as thermoplastics or thermosets. FRPCs provide several advantages more than conventional ...

While plastics are very useful on their own, they can be much stronger when reinforced and mixed with a range of fibers. Not surprisingly, this includes the thermoplastic polymers which are commonly ...
