HomeReview of industrial manufacturing capacity for fibre-reinforced polymers as prospective structural components in shipping containers
Approximate cost, production methods and market drivers
Publication metadata
In this document we will analyse the manufacturing and techno-economic aspects that are perceived as key for determining the feasibility of commercially viable, mass-produced smart composite containers. The scope is not to propose new technical solutions, but rather to paint a panorama of the key aspects that, with currently available technology, will define the backdrop for future commercial and policy developments. This short review is an amalgam of materials-property and market information, whose aim is to provide an overview to assist the non-specialist in evaluating future R&D policy-developing criteria for the eventual development of tamper-evident, seafaring, containers based on the use of composite materials technology.
