The Global Textile Composites Market was valued at approximately USD 7.91 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 6.9% from 2024 to 2032. Textile composites refer to materials that ...
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 ...
Imagine trying to design machines that will last forever, regardless of use or destination. Instead of those machines requiring a steady stream of spare parts (essentially impossible for space probes ...
A team of researchers is developing a robotic system to reduce the production cost of a lightweight, heat-resistant composite material, offering promise for future widespread applications. WEST ...
One-dimensional flexible supercapacitor yarns are of considerable interest for future wearable electronics. The bottleneck in this field is how to develop devices of high energy and power density, by ...
Polyester (PET) fabric is a versatile synthetic material with excellent abrasion, corrosion resistance, and light resistance. However, PET fabric is combustible, with a limiting oxygen index (LOI) of ...
The researchers estimate their self-healing strategy can extend the lifetime of conventional fibre-reinforced composite materials by centuries compared to the current decades-long design-life. “This ...
Researchers have developed a low-cost sensor that can be interlaced into textiles and composite materials. While the research is still new, the sensor may pave the way for smart clothing that can ...
