Description	Advanced Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP) have been increasingly used in various automotive applications, including side fender, body panel, and under-hood devices. The primary advantages include lightweight and high strength, therefore high ratios of strength and stiffness to weight. The strength/stiffness of FRP is almost attributed to the fibers, since the polymeric matrix has negligible values in comparison to the fiber. Therefore it presents a challenging question as to whether a polymeric matrix is the optimal choice. In this paper, a cement-based matrix replacing polymer resin is developed to make thin sheet random short fiber and 3-D continuous fiber reinforced composites. Among the many advantages of cement based material, low cost and higher temperature resistance are the most attractive. In addition to mixing with short fibers, three-dimensional glass fiber fabrics, consisting of two biaxial woven fabrics, which are connected by vertical fibers are used. The height (or thickness) of the fabric can vary, ranging from 3 mm to 10 mm. Other thicker dimensions also are possible. The 3-D fabric is then impregnated with cement slurry to form a thin sheet composite plate. In our preliminary tests, very high flexural stress (43 MPa) and excellent ductility have been achieved with a low fiber content of approximate 7% by volume. With increasing fiber contents, even higher strength and ductility can be expected. Book Name: Design, Manufacturing & Application of Composites
