THERMOFIRE
Bio-based fire-retardant thermoplastic
Composites reinforced with natural fibres
The general objective is to develop novel bio-based and recyclable composites with enhanced mechanical properties and fire resistance by using natural fiber reinforcements and bio-based halogen-free flame retardants.
The THERMOFIRE project is foreseen to design, develop and validate novel, lightweight and low-cost bio-based and recyclable thermoplastic composites with enhanced mechanical properties and fire resistance by the incorporation of natural fiber reinforcements and bio-based halogen-free flame retardants as well as to remove the EU’s dependence on fossil-based polymers. The project’s goal will be achieved by developing and demonstrating 3 prototypes at TRL 5.
