The difference between resin, plexiglass and glass fiber reinforced plastics
Glass fiber reinforced plastic is another name for glass fiber reinforced plastics, commonly known as FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastics), that is, fiber reinforced composite plastic. Depending on the fiber used, glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP), carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), boron fiber reinforced composite plastics and so on are classified. It is a kind of composite material made of glass fiber and its products (glass cloth, band, felt, yarn, etc.) as reinforcing material and synthetic resin as base material. Fiber reinforced composites are composed of reinforced fibers and matrix. Fiber (or whisker) diameter is very small, generally below 10 mu m, less defects and smaller, fracture strain of about 30/1000, is brittle material, easy to damage, fracture and corrosion. The matrix is much lower in strength and modulus than fiber, but it can withstand large strains, often with viscoelasticity and elasticity, and is a ductile material.
Methacrylate (Polymethyl) is a popular name, abbreviated as PMMA. The chemical name of this polymer transparent material is called polymethyl methacrylate. It is a polymer compound made up of methyl methacrylate. It is a kind of important thermoplastic plastics which have been developed earlier. Organic glass is divided into colorless transparent, colored transparent, pearl, embossed plexiglass four. Organic glass, acrylic, acrylic, commonly known as Mr. GREE, organic glass is transparent, good chemical stability, mechanical properties and weathering resistance, easy to dye, easy processing, beautiful appearance etc.. Organic glass is also called gelatin, glass, acrylic and so on.
Three differences:Organic glass belongs to organic macromolecule material.Glass fiber reinforced plastic is a composite material.Stainless steel belongs to metal material.
