Matrix for carbon reinforced epoxy laminates with reduced flammability - MERF

Project summary

The project deals with the development of new flame retardants for carbon fiber reinforced epoxy laminates. These retardants should be more environmentally friendly than most so far used flame retardants. Newly developed compounds will be based on cyclic or polymeric phosphazenes, or other usable derivatives of phosphorus oxytrichloride. At the same time the project should contribute to knowledge of the relationship between structure and properties. Legal protection of the resulting composite is assumed a utility model or a functional sample.
