In the 1970s, bicycles were most commonly made using steel. An FRP bicycle has certain significant advantages over the steel bicycle such as the lightness of weight and rusting would be minimised. The disadvantage of the FRP bicycle would probably lie in the durability aspect of its function. IIT Madras set up six centres in the year 1973. The Composite Structures (FRP) Research Centre, also known as the Fibre Reinforced Plastics (FRP) Centre, was one of them. The Centre was officially opened in March 1974 and it aimed at coordinating and utilising its expertise and resources to advance…

An FRP WC has certain advantages over the commonly used ceramic WCs such as easy portability and fewer damages (ceramics tend to chip and crack over time). The disadvantage of an FRP WC would probably lie in the hygiene aspect of its function. The Composite Structures (FRP) Research Centre, also known as the Fibre Reinforced Plastics (FRP) Centre was started at IIT Madras in March 1974. It was started due to the increased use of FRP, on a global scale, for advanced technology applications as well as for commercial and domestic applications. Prior to the formation of the Centre, in 1960,…
