Described herein are thermoplastic composites including a polymer matrix, having an aliphatic polyamide, and at least one continuous reinforcing fiber. Aliphatic polyamides are well suited for the matrix polymer of a thermoplastic composite due to the low viscosity of the polyamide in the melt state enabling impregnation of the fibers. Additionally, the thermal stability of aliphatic polyamides in the melt state allows for ease of consolidation and lamination of the composite fabrics or tapes. The thermoplastic composite having an aliphatic polyamide provides for enhanced strength and stiffness compared to short, discontinuous fiber compounds. Additionally, the thermoplastics composites based on aliphatic polyamides are formable, drapable and, due to the low processing and melting temperature of the polymer matrix, can be injection overmolded with a variety of short fiber compounds.

Provided is a fiber-reinforced composite material having a greater maximum stress, maximum elongation, and tensile modulus, which are determined by a tensile test, than conventional fiber-reinforced composite materials containing a fluororesin as a matrix. The invention relates to a fiber-reinforced composite material including a fluororesin and a reinforcing fiber, the fluororesin containing a tetrafluoroethylene unit and a vinylidene fluoride unit, the tetrafluoroethylene unit representing 55 to 95 mol % of all the monomer units constituting the fluororesin, the vinylidene fluoride unit representing 45 to 5 mol % of all the monomer units constituting the fluororesin.
