Abstract
Fire retardant core materials in fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) sandwich structures were studied in the development of materials for composite ship structures. Carbonized wood was considered as a potential fire-retardant core material with improved flammability characteristics. Shear properties were measured using in plane shear specimens of the core material and the FRP sandwich test panels were fabricated using vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process.
