Care must be taken that shrinkage increases significantly with a higher resin volume fraction, while gas evolution and air entrapment can develop a weak polymeric matrix and low-strength components. The important application of these composites has been highlighted along with their failure modes. As previously presented, there are many processes for producing FRP composites (see. ; Garcia Padilla, E.E. Abdurohman, K.; Satrio, T.; Muzayadah, N.L.

Therefore, the current environmental situation, which has reached a critical point, requires prompt and objective actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Finally, applications and future research directions of FRP composites are addressed. CM is the simplest form of the SRM process and was first developed to produce FRP components for metal replacement applications, especially from the automotive industry (spoilers, fenders, hoods, scoops). Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) was commonly used as outer layer, and it may expose to the ultraviolet exposure and prone to UV radiation. Regardless of the type of fibers used, a manual rolling follows the spraying process, or occurs simultaneously.
