“…Matrix is also known as resin, especially in oil and gas, and it can be either thermoplastic or thermosets. Resin selection requires consideration of properties (chemical resistance, toughness, abrasion resistance, stiffness, and strength), processing (lay-down rates, process temperature, and processability), and cost (materials and processing) [67]. Evelyne El Masri et al [68], Hughes [69] indicated that HDPE is a commonly used matrix material for producing reinforced thermoplastic spoolable pipes for oil and gas applications.…”

In the oil and gas industry, the demand for alternative materials is rising due to corrosion and the desire to reduce costs through weight reduction. Polymer composites are gaining attention for their corrosion resistance, favourable strength-to-weight ratio, and cost-effectiveness. The biopolymer composite is projected to have an output worth $4.95 billion between 2021 and 2025 and growth at a 5.38% compound annual growth rate. This review focuses on exploring the potential of natural fibres as reinforcement for biofibre polymer composite pipes in oil and gas, highlighting their ecofriendliness, biodegradability, and cost-efficiency. The paper assesses biopolymer composite pipes’ development, challenges, and applications, particularly those using continuous basalt and banana fibres. While basalt fibre has found field applications, banana fibre-reinforced polymer composites are still in the early research stages. Despite significant oil and gas industry players already endorsing polymer composites, further research is needed for biopolymer composites to address challenges like compatibility, environmental impact, standardisation, long-term durability, production processes, and regulatory acceptance. Advancing biocomposite research and exploring new research opportunities are essential for engineering advancements and advanced materials.

“…The highlight of related experimental studies on composite risers, composite tubes, cylinders and shell structures are indicated in Table 6. Since marine risers are tubular structures with varied segments, the experimental tests on composite risers were conducted at microscale levels (on composite materials) [257][258][259] and at macroscale levels (on composite risers with composite tubes) [47,80,307,308], which are benchmarked against those of marine steel risers, such as steel catenary risers [35,286]. It is also crucial to test the failure in risers, as research on carbon-fibre-reinforced composite risers have revealed failure mechanisms [59][60][61][62][63] linked to various loading scenarios [131,134,187,195].…”

“…[38][39][40][41][42][43]. As such, it is important to effectively test these composite production risers (CPR) against test limits of steel catenary risers (SCR) and other bonded composite pipes to avoid failure of the marine riser [44][45][46][47]. Composite production risers (CPR), hose-lines, pipelines and flowlines, convey hydrocarbons as fluids and production ingredients [48][49][50][51][52].…”

In recent times, the utilisation of marine composites in tubular structures has grown in popularity. These applications include composite risers and related SURF (subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines) units. The composite industry has evolved in the development of advanced composites, such as thermoplastic composite pipes (TCP) and hybrid composite structures. However, there are gaps in the understanding of its performance in composite risers, hence the need for this review on the design, hydrodynamics and mechanics of composite risers. The review covers both the structure of the composite production riser (CPR) and its end-fittings for offshore marine applications. It also reviews the mechanical behaviour of composite risers, their microstructure and strength/stress profiles. In principle, designers now have a greater grasp of composite materials. It was concluded that composites differ from standard materials such as steel. Basically, composites have weight savings and a comparative stiffness-to-strength ratio, which are advantageous in marine composites. Also, the offshore sector has grown in response to newer innovations in composite structures such as composite risers, thereby providing new cost-effective techniques. This comprehensive review shows the necessity of optimising existing designs of composite risers. Conclusions drawn portray issues facing composite riser research. Recommendations were made to encourage composite riser developments, including elaboration of necessary standards and specifications.

“…The activation mechanism of this type of compounds can be simplified as the decomposition of a hardener at a certain temperature into isocyanate and a secondary amine, which then participates in the process as a hardener of catalytic action [7,8]. As a result of the interaction reaction of the secondary amine with the epoxy group, a tertiary amine is formed, and after that the reaction proceeds via an anionic polymerization mechanism, which is more regulated than the cationic one.…”

The article considers the problem of the effect of uneven curing caused by the temperature gradient across the thickness of the material on the anisotropy of the strength properties of polymer composite materials. The effect of catalysts on the curing of the epoxy binder EDT-69N, used for the manufacture of multilayer polymer composite materials, was studied. According to dielectric spectrometry, the accelerating effect of the selected compounds on the curing process of the EDT-69N epoxy binder during fiberglass molding has been proved. The possibility of controlling the curing process using catalysts to reduce the influence of the temperature gradient on the anisotropy of the strength properties of the matrix in the manufacture of polymer composite materials is shown.
