This review article discusses recent advancements in fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, focusing on their manufacturing techniques, mechanical properties, and applications. It highlights the role of natural and artificial fibers in FRP composites and explores new research directions, such as the use of quantum dots to enhance composite properties. The article also examines how different fiber weaves and orientations affect the performance and utility of FRP components. By analyzing current research, the paper aims to clarify the complexities of FRP composites and predict future trends in their development and use. Additionally, it reviews the importance of additive manufacturing in the development of FRP composites. Composites are materials made up of two parts: a matrix and a reinforcement. The matrix provides the overall shape and holds the reinforcement in place, while the reinforcement enhances the composite's properties. Composite materials are typically classified based on their base material, including plastic-based, ceramic-based, and metal-based composites. Polymers are the most commonly used materials for fiber-reinforced composites due to their lightweight, strength, affordability, and ease of manufacture. Polymers are generally divided into thermosets and thermoplastics. Thermosets are long-chain molecules that form three-dimensional structures through chemical reactions and do not melt under heat. They are used in applications requiring long-term stability and cost-effectiveness. Thermoplastics, on the other hand, can melt and be reshaped, making them ideal as matrices for FRP composites. Thermoplastics have higher elongation at break and impact resistance but are more expensive than thermosets. The article also discusses the characteristics of thermosets and thermoplastics, highlighting their respective advantages and challenges.This review article discusses recent advancements in fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, focusing on their manufacturing techniques, mechanical properties, and applications.
