RETRACTED: Evaluation of specific properties of glass and carbon/vinyl ester composites

This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief (in conjunction with the guest editor of the special issue). Please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).Reason: This paper is almost identical to another published paper, namely “Carbon/Vinyl Ester Composites for Enhanced Performance in Marine Applications”, K. Shivakumar, G. Swaminathan, M. Sharpe, J. Reinforced Plastics Composites, 25 (2006). In addition, these authors also tried to publish another almost identical version in the journal Composites Science and Technology (which has been retracted since).
