Owing to their light weight and corrosion resistance properties, the composite materials are widely used in fabricating marine products e.g. buoys, power boats, passenger ferries, etc. This not only enhances the fuel efficiency but also increases the speed and portability. The glass-reinforced plastics (GRP) with foam and honeycomb as core material constitute about 70% of all recreational boats and off shore pipelines for oil and gas extractions. The GRP material reduces the installation and control costs and simultaneously provides better corrosion resistance and mechanical performance.
