Abstract Thermoplastic polymer fiber–thermoplastic polymer matrix composites (PPCs or PRFPs), often recognized as self‐reinforced or single polymer composites, are potential candidates for future advanced polymer composites because of various advantages ( e.g., recyclability, formability, low‐cost, ultra‐lightweight, environmental friendliness, etc.). The manufacturability and mechanical behavior of these composites compared to conventional carbon‐/glass‐/aramid‐fiber‐reinforced polymers is of great interest to the composites community, but there are a limited number of studies in this area. To this end, this paper reviewed fabrication methods with different processing parameters and mechanical behavior of uni‐/multi‐directional thermoplastic PPCs featuring continuous thermoplastic polymer fibers from limited data in the literature. It was shown that most specific behaviors (normalized by density) of these materials in various loading conditions (e.g., quasi‐static tension/shear/flexure, tension‐tension fatigue, and out‐of‐plane impacting, etc.) are comparable to or better than glass‐/aramid‐fiber‐reinforced polymers. Particularly, the specific ductility in the foregoing conditions outperforms all the carbon‐/glass‐/aramid‐fiber‐reinforced polymers. Thermoplastic PPCs with remarkable performance can be achieved through several uncomplicated methods (e.g., film stacking, hot compaction, powder and solution impregnations, matrix infusion and injection molding, additive manufacturing, etc.), which have some similarities to the methods used for carbon‐/glass‐/aramid‐fiber‐reinforced polymers. Moreover, several opportunities and challenging problems of thermoplastic PPCs were summarized at the end of this review paper. Efficient solutions may require countless efforts in the composites community to further strengthen the performance and understanding of thermoplastic PPCs for wide applications in various engineering fields in the future.
