Flame retardant FRP systems for aircraft interior applications

Due to aircraft manufacture volume increase, there is a dramatic need for economic fiber-reinforced composite materials and processing technologies that fulfil – besides high mechanical properties and reliability – also specific fire, smoke and toxicity characteristics (FST). This project aims at developing thermoplastic pultrusion line to produce aircraft interior structures such as floor beams, panels, etc. In order to boost the mechanical properties of such structures, nanocellulose fibers will be added to the thermoplastic. The development of such a process will enhance the partner’s competitivity in the aerospace market.
