Polymeric materials are an indispensable part of everyday life. Many articles of daily use are made of plastic, and plastics increasingly replace metals as an established construction material. However, for many applications the raw polymer material has to be improved in terms of strength and durability. This is achieved by mixing additives, e.g. glass or biological fibers, into the polymer. Such fiber-reinforced compounds show excellent mechanical characteristics like low weight and high tensile strength.
