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

The vulnerability against heat and fire for natural fibers presents a great challenge for their
replacement of traditional fiber reinforcements in composite materials. Natural fiber/polymer …

Natural fiber reinforced polymer composites (NFRPCs) have emerged as promising eco‐
friendly alternatives over conventional synthetic fiber composites due to their inherent …

Thermoplastic natural fiber reinforced composites are particularly attractive and ideal
materials for weight critical applications, but the high melt-viscosity of the matrix hinders their …

This work examines the influence of kerosene flame exposure on the residual mechanical
behavior (tension and compression) of hybrid quasi-isotropic composite laminates …

Different polycarbonate materials have been reinforced with carbon nanotubes to tune
electrical conductivity and to induce piezoresistive self-sensing capabilities. Further, the …

This work examines the influence of a kerosene flame on the residual mechanical tensile
properties of composite laminates manufactured by thermo-consolidation process from …

Purpose The purpose of this study is to review and summarise the existing available
literature on lightweight cladding systems to provide detailed information on fire behaviour …

This work examines the influence of a phosphorus-based flame-retardant additive (Exolit) on
the fire-behaviour and the residual mechanical properties of composite laminates …

Carbon fiber/phthalonitrile (Cf/PN) composite has a high potential for applications in the
aerospace sector because of the outstanding heat and flame resistance of phthalonitrile …
