The journey towards circular high-performance composites begins with one core question: why redesign an already mature class of materials? To set the scene, we asked the consortium to describe the ...

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 ...

UD tapes must be fully impregnated since there is no carrier to support the material in the transverse direction such as the paper used with thermoset prepregs. Most UD tapes are supplied in ...

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 ...

Fiber-reinforced composite wing components, commonly stacked with aluminum and titanium, can challenge the machining process, including cutting tool security and final surface quality. Source (All ...

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 ...

Meet Fairmat, a new French startup that wants to improve the recycling process for sophisticated composite materials. The company wants to produce new kinds of materials from material waste and sell ...
