As the value of fiber-reinforced polymers became apparent and accepted in electrical applications, recreation products, and corrosive environments, these synthetic materials began to penetrate virtually every other market worldwide, from automotive and marine to primary structural elements of aircraft and bridges. Such widespread growth in product applications mandated corresponding growth in materials technology, design approaches, and fabrication processes. 

The focus of this chapter has been to give a general overview of the many manufacturing processes available today for the manufactrrre of fiber reinforced polymer composites. Most of the technologies discussed are subject to continuous improvements as manufacturers from the aerospace, automotive, construction and consumer products industries strive to improve manufacturing costs and overall product quality.

Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is a common chemical used as additive in casting solution for the preparation of polysulfone (PS) membranes by the phase inversion technique. PVP is also known to be an established thermoplastic sizing in composite technology. The effectiveness to use PVP as a sizing agent to promote adhesion between inoiganic substrate with polymer matrix has been extensively reported in fiber reinforced polymer matrix composite development.

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) lining systems have been used increasingly for internal rehabilitation of water and wastewater pipelines since the mid-1990s. The primary motivation for use of CFRP linings as a rehabilitation technology is minimizing disruption to the surrounding environment, particularly for distressed pipelines with difficult access to the exterior of the pipeline.
