Using lightweight fire-rated board (LFRB) presents cost-effective opportunities for various passive fire protection measures. The aim of the project is to develop an LFRB with enhanced resistance, acoustic properties, and mechanical properties. These properties were determined using a Bunsen burner, furnace, energy-dispersive X-ray, impedance tube instrument, Instron universal testing machine. ...

This study concerns with the optimisation of a fibre-reinforced composite material ply book and application to an aeronautical component. The presented solution is recyclable FML (Fibre Metal Laminate). Recyclable structural PMCs (Polymeric Matrix Composites) developed up-to now in ENEA had be improved satisfy high-demanding fire characteristics requirements aeronautics, particularly for case c...

The synergistic effect of two fire retardants, a Si-Al compound and chlorinated paraffin, was tested on ultra-low density fiberboards (ULDFs). To further understand the mechanism of fire retardancy, morphologies of unburned and burned ULDFs were studied using a scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive spectroscopy. It was found that as the volume of the burned ULDFs shrank, some crev...

Abstract 3D printing or additive manufacturing (AM) is considered as a flexible method with the potential for substantial innovations in fabricating geometrically complicated structured polymers, metals, and ceramics parts. Among them, polymeric composites show versatility applications various fields, such constructions, microelectronics biomedical. However, poor resistance of these materials a...

The increasing demands placed upon structural thermosets, such as epoxy and unsaturated polyester (UP), ever-increasing regulations for fire safety, have driven the development of high-performance ecofriendly fire-retardant thermoset polymers. This review provides a historical overview UP that aims to state-of-the-art design efficiency strategies developed in last decade, pave way developing ne...

Housing construction consumes more materials than any other economic activity, with a total of 40.6 Gt/year. Boards are placed between to serve as non-load-bearing partitions. Studies have been performed find alternatives conventional using recycled fibers, agro-industrial waste, and protein binders raw materials. Here, fire-resistant cellulose boards low density adequate flexural strength were...

Developing thermosets with inherent recyclability and flame retardancy is a great importance from the views of fire safety, resource conservation environmental protection. Owing to their superior mechanical properties, versatility, outstanding adhesion-ability, durability, thermal, solvent stability comparable conventional while demonstrating end-of-life reuse, recyclable thermosetting material...
