Fibre‐reinforced plastics (or: fibre‐reinforced polymers, FRPs) – a group of materials with excellent and largely adjustable properties – have found their way into many industries over the past yearsn and have established themselves in various sectors. Continuous FRPs have a wide potential for lightweight designs due to their ability to withstand high mechanical loads despite their tare weight. Today's air and space technologies or the wind power industry are unimaginable without this material. Fibre‐reinforced components will form one of the most importantkey factors for the European industry with its energy‐efficient production to fulfil the increasing global demands e.g. energy efficiency, waste avoidance and reduction of CO2‐emissions.
