Summary of vinyl ester resins used in various materials processes and its analysis.

RefFillerTechnique/ProcessOutcome/Application

[25]Vinyl and epoxy resin and glass fiberHand lay-up techniques used to prepare the compositesImproved the physical and mechanical characteristics
[26]Vinyl ester (VER), woven flax, and biaxial glassResin transfer molding (RTM) and vacuum assisted used for composite fabricationFew mechanical properties improved/automotive applications
[27]Vinyl ester, brominatedFabrication done in naval vesselsBr-VERs improved the mechanical properties than normal VERs
[28]VER and sizing agentsDouble bond contents with carbon fiber used to fabricate compositesThe double bond composition of sizing agents increased grafting and crosslink reactions
[29]VE/acrylamideComposite made by compression molding machineInterlaminar and interfacial strength were improved
[30]VER/bamboo fiberPMC fabricationMoisture absorption damages interfacial bonding link
[31]VE and seed fillerComposite made by compression molding machineBetter mechanical behaviour found due to filler addition
[32]VE and blend of epoxyGFRP-compositesStrong interfacial bonding and increased mech properties
