| dc.description.abstract | Composite materials, comprised of fibre-reinforced polymers, offer a high strength-to-weight ratio, making them excellent for the building of complex, lightweight structures in several industries, including the marine industry. There is an improvement in fuel efficiency and cost-effectiveness in general marine component developments as a result of the lightweight and flexible design characteristics. Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are often used to construct boats, ships, and other marine compounds, such as the hull, column beams, piling structures, and other internal ship components, since they meet the aforementioned characteristics. In terms of durability, rigidity, and corrosion resistance, these FRPs may readily replace their conventional metal counterparts. So, this review gives an overview of FRP composites' application in marine industries for various potential applications. Fibre-reinforced polymer composites offer a significant advantage in strength and weight when compared to conventional materials | |
