Research abstract
Triton Systems Inc. proposes a novel approach for the development of lightweight, low cost, highly impact resistant and environmental friendly composite hull structural panels for next generation high speed lighters. The approach is based upon engineeringof advanced thermoplastic composite (TPC) materials for the transition of metallic structures to cost-effective, structurally-efficient polymer matrix composites. Triton proposes to use its polymer additive, for flame retardancy in the thermoplastic resinsystem and good impact properties. Triton will re-engineer the current 1
