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.

Researchers at the AGH University of Krakow in Poland and its Eko-Energia AGH student group have published a study about their approach to lightweight bifacial vehicle integrated PV (VIPV) modules, ...

IACMI Project 3.2 evaluated carbon fiber-reinforced composites infused with a novel epoxy-based resin system to develop structural composite parts with complex geometry to replace metals in ...

Figure 1. (click to enlarge) Available in tape or rod form, carbon-fiber composites are increasingly being used in place of metals for implants. The basic mechanical principles behind implants used ...

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 ...

The standard square beams are produced from graphite and PAN carbon fibres using CompoTech’s innovative automated, robot assisted filament placement technique, which places continuous fibres axially ...
