   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiberglass

   Fiberglass. Fiberglass (American English) or fibreglass (Commonwealth English) is a common type of fiber-reinforced plastic using glass fiber. The fibers may be randomly arranged, flattened into a sheet called a chopped strand mat, or woven into glass cloth. The plastic matrix may be a thermoset polymer matrix —most often based on ...

3. Fabric structure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabric_structure

   A fabric structure is a structure made of fabric, with or without a structural frame made from the weaving of the fabric itself . The technology provides end users a variety of aesthetic free-form building designs. Custom-made structures are engineered and fabricated to meet worldwide structural, flame retardant, weather-resistant, and natural ...

4. Silnylon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silnylon

   Silnylon, a portmanteau of "silicone" and "nylon", is a synthetic fabric used mainly in lightweight outdoor gear. It is made by impregnating a thin woven nylon fabric with liquid silicone from both sides. [ 1] This makes it strong for its weight, as the silicone substantially improves the tear strength.

5. Fibre-reinforced plastic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre-reinforced_plastic

   Fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP; also called fibre-reinforced polymer, or in American English fiber) is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres. The fibres are usually glass (in fibreglass), carbon (in carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer), aramid, or basalt. Rarely, other fibres such as paper, wood, boron, or asbestos ...

6. Technical textile - Wikipedia

   A technical textile is a textile product manufactured for non-aesthetic purposes, where function is the primary criterion. [1] Technical textiles include textiles for automotive applications, medical textiles (e.g., implants), geotextiles (reinforcement of embankments), agrotextiles (textiles for crop protection), and protective clothing (e.g., heat and radiation protection for fire fighter ...

7. Composite material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_material

   A black carbon fibre (used as a reinforcement component) compared to a human hair. Composites are formed by combining materials together to form an overall structure with properties that differ from that of the individual components. A composite material (also called a composition material or shortened to composite, which is the common name) is ...
