Abstract

Fibre-reinforced plastics composites are widely used in the marine industry because they can survive in the wet environment far longer than traditional engineering materials (wood, aluminium, steel) with minimal maintenance. Integrated structures may have dimensions in excess of 100m, but thermosetting resin materials are not easily recycled. The talk will consider some of the larger structures that already exist, then discuss a number of environmental considerations that need to be understood for the benefit of future generations.
