Advanced Polymer Composites Market - Industry Analysis, Global Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019
Advanced polymer composites (APCs) are high performance materials which are manufactured from continuous fibers using various processes such as resin infusion, pultrusion and filament winding. The fibers used in production of APCs are aramid, carbon fibers, S2-glass and E-glass. In addition to these fibers, four types of resins are used as a matrix in quantity; epoxy, vinylester, phenolic and polyester. APCs are used in aerospace, automotives, residential and infrastructure, marine, sport goods and mass transportation among others.
