Application of Microwave Polarimetry to the Characterization of Fiber Misalignment in Composites
In this paper synthetic aperture radar (SAR) polarimetry techniques are applied to detect and characterize fiber misalignment in both carbon fiber sheets and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites. The principle behind SAR polarimetry technique

Effect of Graphene on Machinability of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) [PDF]
Glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRPs) are used extensively in many industries because of their low cost and high mechanical properties. Even if composite manufacturing processes are well controlled and allow to fabricate near net shapes, machining operations are still necessary to complete the manufacturing.
