Products
In collaboration with industry partners, load-transfer products and structural components composed of glass, carbon or aramid fiber-reinforced polymers (G-, A-, C-FRPs) are developed, taking advantage of the properties offered by FRP materials, such as high strength, low weight, low thermal conductivity, and resistance against aggressive environments.
