Abstract

In this section, the term fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is defined. Subsequently, the industrial importance of FRPs is shown and specific characteristics of FRPs, which are the reason for this importance, are explained. Afterward, the differences between conventional and integrated product development are presented, and it is shown why integrated product development is of such great importance, especially for FRPs.

Notes

  1. 1.

    This number does not include short fiber-reinforced thermoplastics, with a fiber length smaller than 2 mm, which are mainly processed by injection molding. In 2017, the European demand for these materials only exceeded 1.400 kt [7].

  2. 2.

    The depicted model P601 was built from 1964 to 1990.

  3. 3.

    The depicted model is a BMW i3 120Ah from 2019.
