Reinforcement, Selective

Selective reinforcement is a method of producing long fiber reinforced plastics. The fiber, typically continuous glass or carbon fiber, is pultruded along with the thermoplastic resin which coats each individual fiber. The coated fiber is then chopped into pellets that are typically 0.1 to 1.5 inches long. The long fiber reinforcements increase the stiffness and notched Izod impact properties much more than more traditional short fiber reinforced thermoplastics.
