Development of low cost ceramic moulding composites as fire barriers
Ren, Guogang; Hogg, P.J.; Woolstencroft, D.H. (2009)This paper investigates the fire barrier and heat insulation properties of newly developed low cost ceramic mouldable composites using a modern small scale testing method which exposes testing panels to the fire on one ... -
Development of natural HEMP fibre sheet mould composites (NF- SMC)
Ren, Guogang; Patel, H.; Hapuarachchi, D.; Crowther, S.; Fan, M.; Hogg, P.J. (2009)The use of natural fibres as reinforcement in polymer composites has generated much interest in recent years due to environmental legislation and improvements on natural fibre performance and process-abilities. This research ... -
Fire Retardancy of Natural Fibre Reinforced Sheet Moulding Compound
Hapuarachchi, T.D.; Ren, Guogang; Fan, Mizi; Hogg, P.J.; Peijs, T. (2007-07)Due to environmental awareness and economical considerations, natural fibre reinforced polymer composites seem to present a viable alternative to synthetic fibre reinforced polymer composites such as glass fibres. This is ... -
Hemp fibre as alternative to glass fibre in sheet moulding compound. Part 1 : influence of fibre content and surface treatment on mechanical properties
Patel, H.K.; Ren, Guogang; Hogg, P.J.; Peijs, T. (2010-07-01)Hemp fibre mat reinforced unsaturated polyester composites were fabricated using a conventional sheet moulding compound process. The influence of fibre and CaCO3 filler content on strength and stiffness of these hemp fibre ... -
Hemp fibre as alternative to glass fibre in sheet moulding compound. Part 2 : impact properties
Patel, H.; Ren, Guogang; Hogg, P.J.; Peijs, T. (2015-09-01)This paper describes the results of falling weight impact tests on natural fibre reinforced polyester composites fabricated using a conventional sheet moulding compound (SMC) process. The influence of hemp fibre and CaCO3 ... -

Mechanical properties of carbon-fibre reinforced silicate matrix composites
Cortes, D. A.; Hogg, P.J.; Tanner, K.E.; Ren, Guogang (2007)A basic ceramic system has been developed by mixing wollastonite ceramic, sodium silicate and aluminium phosphate. In some cases, polyethylene powder and carbon fibres were added to the basic formulation to increase the ...
