Widespread in aerospace, laminated fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites are also increasingly used in other sectors, including the automotive industry. The identification of optimal cutting ...
Composite materials have revolu­tionised a wide range of industries, including aerospace and automotive, offering unrivalled strength, lightness and design flexibility compared to more conventional ...
Composite materials, notably those reinforced with carbon or glass fibres, are increasingly utilised in engineering applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and durability. However, ...
Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...
In a win for chemistry, inventors have designed a closed-loop path for synthesizing an exceptionally tough carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer and later recovering all of its starting materials. In a win ...
This year, the Société Française des Ingénieurs des Plastiques (SFIP) organised the 4th edition of its conference dedicated to the building industry on the Champs-sur-Marne campus (France), just a ...
Greene Tweed replaces metal stator vanes with DLF material co-molded with a metal leading edge that meets performance, cost ...
Researchers have created a self-healing composite that is tougher than materials currently used in aircraft wings, turbine blades and other applications—and can repair itself more than 1,000 times.
Industry is rapidly gaining maturity while benefiting from macro-trends in circularity, AI and TPC and high-rate ...
