Fibre-reinforced plastics

Tank material A mild-steel (MS) tank, with a wall thickness of 4-6 mm, and having an acid-proof lining of FRP (fibre-reinforced plastic), rubber or PVC will be suitable for this purpose. A healing arrangement, even if a cold process is adopted, will be ideal for... [Pg.401]

In the book of Exodus (Chapter 2) we read that the mother of Moses when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bullrushes and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein and she laid it in the flags by the river s brink . Biblical commentaries indicate that slime is the same as bitumen but whether or not this is so we have here the precursor of our modem fibre-reinforced plastics boat. [Pg.1]

Plastics also find increasing use in vehicles for both water and air transport. Glass-fibre-reinforced plastic boats are widely used as a result of their economy in manufacture, ease of maintenance, lightness of weight and, for military purposes, antimagnetic characteristics. The non-corrosive nature of plastics also leads to their widespread use in boat fixtures and fittings. In aircraft, plastics are particularly useful on account of their low density. [Pg.13]

The viscoelastic nature of the matrix in many fibre reinforced plastics causes their properties to be time and temperature dependent. Under a constant stress they exhibit creep which will be more pronounced as the temperature increases. However, since fibres exhibit negligible creep, the time dependence of the properties of fibre reinforced plastics is very much less than that for the unreinforced matrix. [Pg.232]

Bolted, bon and bonded-bolted joints have barely been introduced. Further befTavioral and design information is available in the book Joining Fibre-Reinforced Plastics edited by F. L. Mathews [7-11], which has chapters written by various authors including two chapters on design by L. J. Hart-Smith. [Pg.422]

Access of air and water will also affect the corrosion rate. Metal inserts in corrosive plastics are most actively attacked at the plastic/metal/air interfaces with certain metals, notably aluminium titaniumand stainless steel, crevice effects (oxygen shielding and entrapment of water) frequently accelerate attack. Acceleration of corrosion by bimetallic couples between carbon-fibre-reinforced plastics and metals presents a problem in the use of these composites. [Pg.955]

Recycling of glass fibre-reinforced plastics is reviewed, with special emphasis on remelting of thermoplastic composites, mechanical recycling of thermoset composites, depolymerisation and dissolution of thermosets and thermoplastics, closed loop recycling of glass, and the use of glass as a mechanical compatibiliser. 32 refs.

The effects of amendments to the Environmental Protection Act (1990), which relate to pollution control and styrene emissions from installations, on UK fibre reinforced plastics processors are examined. Possible cost-effective abatement solutions are briefly considered. [Pg.64]

Epoxy resins find a large number of uses because of their remarkable chemical resistance and good adhesion. Epoxy resins are excellent structural adhesives. When properly cured, epoxy resins can yield very tough materials. They are used in industrial floorings, foams, potting materials for electrical insulations, etc. One of the principal constituents in many of the Fibre-reinforced plastics (FRP) is an epoxy polymer. [Pg.174]

The use of these resins is made for obtaining glass fibre reinforced plastics which have high impact and tensile strength similar to steel. They are good insulators and resistant to chemicals. They can be used upto 150-200°C. [Pg.185]

The unsaturated polyester-styrene combination, is used as the resin matrix, in Fibre-reinforced plastics (FRP) structures. These resins also find use as decorative coatings. [Pg.186]

While plastics processing has been of minor importance for today s production of the internal combustion engine and its respective drive system, this sector will become highly relevant if hydrogen is stored on board. A thin-walled aluminium storage sheeted by a carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic has been assumed for the above-shown structural changes in industry. [Pg.374]
