In a win for chemistry, inventors at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have designed a closed-loop path for synthesizing an exceptionally tough carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer, ...

Polymer materials offer cost-effective solutions in engineering, yet their limitations prompt research into nano-reinforced composites for improved performance.

AI revolutionizes polymer composite production with integrated systems that cut waste and boost efficiency for aerospace firms.

Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite that is capable of ...

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 ...

In a previous article we reviewed rapid forming of thermoplastic composites (TPC). In the second part of this three-part series, we’ll explore the thermal processes and how these can be managed, ...

Lightweight, high-strength polymer composites are essential to modern engineering. Yet their manufacturing remains complex, slow, and often reliant on manual adjustments. In a forward-looking analysis ...

Owing to their lightweight nature and flexibility, thermally conductive polymer composites are applied between a heat source and a sink in electronics to dissipate the generated heat to the ...

An extruded wood polymer composite (WPC) green body that has then been carbonized into a porous preform and then processed via silicon melt infiltration into a high-performance silicon carbide (SiC) ...

Through the PEPR Recycling programme, France is structuring a national response to one of the composites industry’s most pressing challenges: enabling the circular transformation of high-performance ...
