Abstract
As environmental regulations become stricter, weight- and cost-effective fiber-reinforced polymer com-posites are being considered as alternative materials in the automobile industry. Rapid impregnation of the resin into the reinforcing fibers is critical during liquid composite molding, and the optimization of resin impregnation is related to the cycle time and quality of the products. In this review, various resins capable of rapid impregnation, including thermoset and thermoplastic resins, are discussed for manu-facturing fiber-reinforced composites used in the automobile industry, along with their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, vital factors and perspectives for developing rapidly impregnated resin-based fiber-reinforced composites for automobile applications are discussed
