Summary
This report covers semi and non-crystalline thermoplastics, polymer blends, and various classes of reinforcing fibers and their properties which determine their suitability for specific applications. The long-term properties are discussed and effect of external forces, heat, weathering, chemical attack, and frictional wear. The uses in telecommunication, medical devices, sporting goods, and automotive applications provide an indication of the potential of these materials.Fibers: glass, ceramic, wollastonite, asbestos, carbon-graphite, aramid, UHMWPE, rigid rod
