Microfibril reinforced composites (MFCs) are polymer-polymer composites in which the reinforcing elements are created in situ during the manufacturing process. By improving the strength and stiffness of many commonly used commodity polymers through the introduction of carefully created high performance microfibrils, MFCs could potentially be utilized in a wide range of both specialist and everyday applications.
