Using these materials, they created and combined specific patterns called ring and disk patterns, which govern the final properties of composite materials. To do this, they used a precise spray system ...

Computational homogenization has emerged as an indispensable tool for bridging the gap between the microscale heterogeneity of composite materials and their macroscopic behaviour. By employing ...

Composite materials are made by combining two or more distinct materials, such as a fiber and a matrix, to exploit the best qualities of each. However, predicting the performance of a composite ...

Estimating composite material properties can be computationally expensive and time-consuming. Researchers propose a Reduced Basis Homogenisation Method (RBHM) to enhance homogenisation based on a ...

Toray Cetex TC1225 low-melt PAEK achieves further National Center for Advanced Materials Performance qualifications.

Explore the future of sustainable composites in architecture, from bio-based and recycled materials to hybrid solutions.

Compared to metals such as aluminum and steel, the number of stiffness and strength properties associated with polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is extensive. For metals, these mechanical properties ...

Vibration-absorbing, sound-damping materials such as sheets of rubber and expanded foam tend to be thick, bulky and soft. A new material is a big exception to that tendency, however, as it absorbs ...

UK: A bio-inspired nacre-like glass flake/ polymer composite has been developed, demonstrating strong mechanical properties, ...

As part of a portfolio of products designed to deliver improved sustainability, PRF Composite Materials is delighted to introduce REEPREG, its new carbon prepreg material made with recycled chopped ...
