From page 7...
... 7 chapter two Fiber-reinForced Polymer materials FRP is categorized as a composite material consisting of fibers and a matrix resin. The fibers are responsible for providing the composite with strength and modulus, whereas the resin protects the fibers from physical or environmental deterioration.
From page 8...
... 8 • Vinylester: vinylester is an alternative resin to epoxies or polyesters and is typically used for manufacturing GFRP-reinforcing bars or bridge decks. A chemical reaction called the esterification of epoxies with organic compounds produces vinylester.
From page 9...
... 9 have been traditionally utilized for the cases that require large energy dissipation or toughness, such as bulletproof vests. Aramid fibers are lighter than carbon and glass fibers, whereas they provide comparable mechanical properties (approximately between those of carbon and glass fibers)
