In the last decade, synthetic fiber, as a reinforcing specialist, has been mainly used in
polymer matrix composites (PMC's) to provide lightweight materials with improved stiffness …

Against the background of people's increasing awareness of personal safety and property
safety, the flame retardancy (FR) of materials has increasingly become the focus of attention …

It is still a great challenge to develop epoxy resin/glass fabric (EP/GF) composites with well-
balanced enhancements on flame retardancy and mechanical properties. Herein, a novel …

In this study, a biobased vinyl ester resin monomer with Schiff base is prepared from
protocatechualdehyde. The monomer is dissolved into styrene to prepare the biobased resin …

The development of solvent-free intumescent fire protection epoxy (EP) coatings with
excellent durability is an extremely important issue for the protection of storage tanks and …

Geopolymer is a promising alternative to ordinary Portland cement (OPC) due to its low
carbon emission during production process, high strength, and good durability. Its inorganic …

Additive flame retardant offers several advantages in terms of formulation, improved
performance and reduced environmental impact. These additives result in superior thermal …

Intumescent fire-retardants (IFR) are widely applied in fire protection coatings of steel and
wooden structures. The addition of inorganic fillers, such as layered ionic clays, can improve …

Geopolymer concrete has similar mechanical properties to ordinary Portland cement (OPC)
concrete, and even better properties in high temperature, high corrosion environment …

This study investigates the influence of silane-treated aluminum hydroxide on the
mechanical performance of flame-retardant composites. These composites have potential …
