The use of glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites in load-carrying constructions
has significantly increased over the last few decades. Such GFRP composite structures may …

Vinyl ester resins (VERs) are used in a variety of applications. However, alternative
feedstocks and molecular structures have been recently investigated due to dwindling …

Structural cold-curing adhesives are widely used to strengthen Reinforced Concrete (RC)
structures with Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRPs). The performance of these adhesives, and …

Vinyl ester (VE) resin is widely used as a thermosetting polymer for structural materials
because of its high mechanical properties and excellent chemical resistance. Using additive …

Lignin is an abundant, renewable material that has the potential to yield valuable, low
molecular weight, single aromatic chemicals when strategically depolymerized. In order to …

This paper describes the influence of the curing temperature on the physical and
mechanical properties of three structural adhesives. This work was undertaken to improve …

One method of reducing styrene emissions from vinyl ester (VE) and unsaturated polyester
resins (UPE) is to replace some or all of the styrene with fatty acid-based monomers …

Triglycerides with acrylate functionality were prepared from various oils and model
triglycerides. The triglyceride-acrylates were homopolymerized and copolymerized with …

Lignin is an abundant renewable raw material that has the potential to yield valuable bio-oils
consisting of aromatic chemicals when strategically depolymerized. In order to determine if …

In recent years, the bio-refining industry has developed a number of cyclic molecules with
unique attributes derived from renewable carbohydrate feedstocks. Isosorbide is one such …
