Konstruktori automobilskih karoserija, koji vie od svih osjeaju pritisak zbog (kripu) slabe otpornosti na
koroziju, istrauju kompozitne plastine ploe. Konstruktori letjelica, svjesni da je omjer vlane vrstoe i
modula elastinosti veine metala daleko od idealnog, poeli su koristiti neobine kompozite gdje god oni
mogu koristiti u smjeru smanjenja mase.
