Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleReview on the use of FRP Composites for Facades and Building SkinsChiara BedonFiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites represent a class of materials typically able to offer excellent mechanical, thermal and insulation properties, taking advantage of a combination of their constitutive fibers and polymers. Due to their intrinsic lightweight properties, FRP composites are in use for aerospace, automotive, marine industries and ballistic armor since several decades. Only in a subsequent phase, i.e. since … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 29 Sep 2016 · 9,219 accessesView PDFCite
