PalletX uses carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) and CompoTech's advanced winding technology to manufacture a lightweight, more durable, modular alternative to traditional shipping pallets. Shown ...
4D printing of composites could transform rooftop wind turbine manufacturing: Concordia University researchers demonstrated a ...
New process addresses a current environmental challenge in the transportation and energy sectors. The method is the first of its kind, reclaiming high-value materials from both the carbon fiber fabric ...
In an approach they call 'nanostitching,' engineers used carbon nanotubes to prevent cracking in multilayered composites. The advance could lead to next-generation airplanes and spacecraft. To save on ...
Carbon fiber composites aren't a new thing in jet engine fan blades, including GE Aviation's. But every so often GE engineers have to redesign them to take advantage of advances in carbon composite ...
Composite materials are engineered by fusing different materials, typically consisting of a matrix (a polymer, metal, or ceramic) and a reinforcement (such as fibers, particles, or flakes) that ...
