Sandwich structures, consisting of a cellular polymer core and thin compact skin layers, are gaining increasing relevance as structural materials since they combine a low density with a relatively high strength. Sandwich materials based on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) foams were introduced only a few years ago. These structures are innovative materials with outstanding shear and compressive strength. However, they have the disadvantage of being flammable compared to other foam materials. This undesired flammability must be overcome by adding flame-retardant additives to PET. Concerning flame-retardant PET-based sandwich materials, the relationship between the microscopic morphology of both the foam core and the skin layer phases on the structure mechanical properties and fire resistance has not been systematically investigated. The aim of this project is to investigate and clarify the mentioned structure-property relationship and set the foundations on the knowledge on materials science for further improvement of these materials. The selected materials composing the sandwich materials are foam-extruded PET as the core and a high-performance glass-fiber reinforced epoxy resin as skin layer. These sandwich structures will be obtained by Vacuum Assisted Resin Infusion (VARI). The flame retardancy of PET foams will be improved through a novel additivating concept. This concept consists on introducing in PET phosphorous- and sulfur-based compounds having synergetic flame retardant properties. The epoxy resin will be also additivated with phosphorous-based compounds to improve its flame retardant properties. These compounds will not affect the resin processability for VARI infusion nor its ultimate mechanical properties. To understand the influence of both phases on the overall properties of the sandwich material, the core and skin layers will be studied separately. As such, all relevant material and process parameters for PET foam extrusion can be investigated. The effect of the foam extrusion parameters on the foam microstructure will be herein elucidated. Afterwards, the influence of the flame-retardant additives on the foam morphology will be investigated. Then, the relationship between the foam morphology on the mechanical properties and fire resistance will be established. Finally concerning the sandwich structures, the surface interactions between the core and the skin layer will be investigated and then related to the mechanical properties and fire resistance of the sandwich. Especial attention will be paid to the fire resistance of halogen-free flame-retardant sandwich samples, with the fire-retardant mechanisms of such structures being elucidated. For this joint research project, the scientific competences of UBT (material science) and TUD (flame retardants) are optimal for a research collaboration.

三明治结构由细胞聚合物核心和薄而致密的表皮层组成，由于其结合了低密度和相对较高的强度，因此作为结构材料越来越重要。基于聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯（PET）泡沫的夹层材料仅在几年前推出。这些结构是具有杰出的抗剪和抗压强度的创新材料。然而，与其他泡沫材料相比，它们具有易燃的缺点。这种不希望的可燃性必须通过在PET中添加阻燃添加剂来克服。对于阻燃pet基夹层材料，泡沫芯和表皮层相的微观形貌对结构力学性能和耐火性能的影响尚未得到系统的研究。本项目的目的是研究和阐明上述结构-性能关系，为进一步改进这些材料奠定材料科学知识的基础。夹层材料选用泡沫挤压PET为芯材，高性能玻璃纤维增强环氧树脂为皮层。这些夹层结构将通过真空辅助树脂注入（VARI）获得。通过一种新的添加剂概念，将提高PET泡沫的阻燃性。这一概念是在PET中引入具有协同阻燃性能的磷基和硫基化合物。环氧树脂还将添加磷基化合物，以提高其阻燃性能。这些化合物不会影响VARI灌注树脂的加工性，也不会影响其最终的机械性能。为了了解这两种相对三明治材料整体性能的影响，我们将分别研究芯层和表皮层。因此，可以研究PET泡沫挤出的所有相关材料和工艺参数。探讨了泡沫挤压参数对泡沫微观结构的影响。随后，研究了阻燃剂对泡沫形貌的影响。然后，建立泡沫形态对力学性能和耐火性能的影响关系。最后，对于夹层结构，将研究芯层和蒙皮层之间的表面相互作用，然后将其与夹层的力学性能和耐火性能联系起来。本文将重点研究无卤阻燃夹层材料的耐火性能，并对无卤阻燃夹层材料的阻燃机理进行阐述。对于这个联合研究项目，UBT（材料科学）和TUD（阻燃剂）的科学能力是研究合作的最佳选择。
