Claim 0:
1. A method of manufacturing fiber reinforced polymers comprising:
producing a powder resin comprising a polymer precursor and a thermal initiator, wherein the powder resin is produced by mixing an epoxy monomer as the polymer precursor in a concentration range of 80-99.99 wt % and thermal initiator in a concentration range of 0.001-20 wt %;
packing a fiber structure with the powder resin resulting in a resin-packed structure by one or more of repeatedly spraying the powder resin onto a layer of the fiber structure and adding layers, densifying the powder resin, electrodepositing the powder resin, and rolling the powder resin over the fiber structure; and
heating the resin-packed structure to a curing temperature high enough to melt and cure the resin-packed structure to form a final structure.
