Abstract
We present the development of a high-performance flame-retardant vinyl ester (FR-VE)/flax fabric (FF) biocomposite through a hybrid approach using vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding. FF was modified to form FR fibers (mFF) using surface treatment with varying amounts (5–20%) of ammonium polyphosphate (APP), and the FR-VE/mFF composites were fabricated by including flame retardants such as chitosan (CS), APP, and modified CS (NCSAPP). The...
