Recent developments in fire retardant glass fibre reinforced epoxy composite and geopolymer as a potential fire-retardant material: A review

摘要: Abstract Glass fibre reinforced epoxy composites have been used in building area (cold store construction), aeroplanes, land and water vehicles, etc., due to their high-specific rigidity strength, high damping, great resistance corrosion, inferior thermal expansion. Unfortunately, is flammable whilst releasing a substantial amount of smoke gases, therefore presenting possible risk lives as well property. The reduction fire risks normally fulfilled by enhancing the performance composite components including incorporation retardant (FR) into polymer matrix providing protective FR coatings around composite. To date, two types incorporated system additive reactive improve This review focuses on research works over last ten years improving retardancy glass through both FR. work also summarises regarding geopolymer which applied epoxy-based material. Finally, this presents some future opportunities regards potential be utilised one FRs
