Since 2016, Extracthive has been developing an innovative recycling technology named PHYre® based on solvolysis for carbon fibre-reinforced polymers. In this approach, a unique combination of solvent ...

Fiber-reinforced polymer (often simply "FRP" or "fiberglass") is a composite consisting of a polymer resin matrix reinforced by embedded glass fibers. The strength of a fiberglass part is determined ...

From the pilings to the deck and everything in between, a $6- million, federally funded project will serve as a test bed for a variety of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) and composite technologies ...

Lightweight yet strong and resistant to corrosion and weathering, carbon fiber–reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are used in aircraft, shipping containers, natural gas storage tanks, wind turbine blades, ...
