Glass fibre reinforced polymers nylon

Gong et al. later presented a means to create self-reinforced polymer composites based on nylon 6 without the use of separate additional nylon 6 films [186]. The authors reported the polymerisation of s-caprolactam into nylon 6 in situ, i.e. directly polymerising nylon 6 around woven nylon 6 fabric, in a process similar to the resin infusion technique used for the infusion of conventimial composites (such as glass fibre-reinforced thermoset polymer matrices). 

Reinforced plastics a wide range of products produced from reinforcing fibre (notably glass, but others such as asbestos and carbon fibres, etc, are used) and synthetic resin (called a matrix ). Both thermosetting and thermoplastic polymers are used as a matrix. Unsaturated polyester resins are still usually looked upon as the major matrix material, but many other plastics can be and are used extremely successfully (the best known being nylon).
