Both chopped and continuous fibers are used in composite 3D printing for lightweight, strong parts. We took a look at how ...

Composite materials have their microstructure designed in terms of their macroscopic constituents, e.g. fibers in a homogeneous matrix material. By controlling the choice of fibers, their volume ...

But in the cycling industry, we have very detailed, tailored layups, which is why they are done manually right now.” These layups are also almost exclusively thermoset composites, notes Lemay, using ...

Polymer and plastic composites are plastics which are strengthened with fibers, fillers, particulates, powders and other matrix reinforcements to provide improved strength and/or stiffness. Examples ...

What's new is the focus on the machine's ability to keep composite materials, particularly those reinforced with glass fiber, in the loop. Glass-fiber-reinforced polymer composites are widely used ...

Electra will identify and deliver various concepts and technologies for future sustainable commercial airline development.

Glass fibers and fiberglass cloth is used in reinforcing plastics and composites as well as other specialized electrical and thermal applications. Fiberglass cloth is frequently used to reinforce ...

A CFRP, or carbon fiber reinforced polymer, is a composite material that combines the components of carbon fibers and polymers. "The study demonstrates the first successful method to reclaim high ...
