    Abstract: Unsaturated polyester is the polymer material most widely used for matrix composites in the field of construction engineering, including for ships, automotive components and other engineering fields. The weakness of this polymer is that it is brittle and brittle and is unable to withstand cracking loads due to having cross-linked molecules that eas... Show More
