چکیده
Abstract Fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRPC) have gain rapid interest as light-weight and corrosion-resistant materials for various applications in marine infrastructure. Despite their advantages, FRPCs are still susceptible to other environmental factors present the environment manufactured mostly from non-renewable materials. This greatly affects overall economic sustainability of such components. To determine long-term suitability use environments, this paper provides a holistic comparison performance 16 (four fiber types: glass, carbon, natural, basalt; four resins: epoxy, polyester, vinylester, thermoplastic) not only technical, but also an economic, resource perspective. The resulting ranking assesses each material’s potential, detailed overview individual strengths weaknesses. Although ranked lowest all materials, partial renewability natural makes them interesting material longer term. Therefore, we framework evaluate number approaches aimed at improving these composites.
