Fiber reinforced polymeric composites (FRPCs) have been widely used in automotive,
aircraft, airspace, marine and civil construction. However, they are flammable, thus seriously …

The increasing demands placed upon structural thermosets, such as epoxy and unsaturated
polyester (UP), and ever-increasing regulations for fire safety, have driven the development …

Glass fiber-reinforced polymers and protective gelcoats are important construction materials
used in marine structure engineering. This study focused on the effect of freeze-thaw test on …

This review provides an intensive overview of flame retardant coating systems. The
occurrence of flame due to thermal degradation of the polymer substrate as a result of …

Wind energy is helping to decarbonize the electrical grid, but wind blades are not recyclable,
and current end-of-life management strategies are not sustainable. To address the material …

This research article focuses on the development of multifunctional, flame retarded epoxy
gelcoat formulations based on phosphorus-containing, intumescent flame retardant (FR) …

Composites are popular in construction engineering due to their low water absorption, good
chemical and corrosion resistance, lightweight, high specific strength, high specific modulus …

The complexity of recycling crosslinked polymer composites has promoted the use of
thermoplastic in situ polymerisable matrices, including ε-caprolactam-based polyamide 6 …

In renewable energy, wind capture has been expanding to now have one of the largest
presences in the global green energy sector. With the drive to expand low carbon …

We investigated the industrial applicability of multifunctional flame-retardant epoxy gelcoats
based on flame retardants containing phosphorus (P), in particular ammonium …
