A hoisting device rope has a width larger than a thickness thereof in a transverse direction of the rope. The rope includes a load-bearing part made of a composite material, the composite material including non-metallic reinforcing fibers, which include carbon fiber or glass fiber, in a polymer matrix. An elevator includes a drive sheave, an elevator car and a rope system for moving the elevator car by means of the drive sheave. The rope system includes at least one rope that has a width that is larger than a thickness thereof in a transverse direction of the rope. The rope includes a load-bearing part made of a composite material. The composite material includes reinforcing fibers in a polymer matrix.

The present invention relates to a polymer composite having a multi-layered structure formed by implanting one or more steels and fibers into a polymer and adhering the one or more steels and fibers to the polymer and thus being lightweight and having high strength, high toughness, and high wear resistance. The polymer composite includes a polymer, a filament implanted into the polymer and adhered to the polymer, and a fiber implanted into the polymer and adhered to the polymer, in which either only the filament or the fiber is implanted into the polymer and adhered to the polymer, or the filament and the fiber are simultaneously implanted into the polymer and adhered to the polymer.
