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. Methacrylated fatty acid (MFA) monomers are ideal candidates because they are inexpensive, have low volatilities, and free-radically polymerize with vinyl ester. The viscosity of VE resins using these fatty acid monomers r...

In this research work the effect of barrier angle on tree resistance has been revealed in clear polyester resin. The work to be described studies the possible effect with angular displacement might have the progress of trees in the presence of barrier. The barriers were cast at 0 0 , 45 0 and 90 0 with respect to axis of symmetry of the field. The barrier selected for this study were glass and ...

Abstract This work investigated effect of glass fibre fabric structures, feedstock feed rate and screen size on specific shredding energy reinforced plastics (GFRP) waste via a two-level factorial design experiment study. Four types structure, i.e. unidirectional (UD), biaxial (BIAX), triaxial (TRIAX) chopped strand mat (CSM), were impregnated separately with unsaturated polyester resin to manu...
