This video takes a look at composite materials, materials that are made up from two or more distinct materials. Composites ...

A new composite material with passive cooling has been found to raise both the power and longevity of solar cells.

While bio-based polylactic acid (PLA) thermoplastic is relatively eco-friendly and easily recyclable, composites such as carbon fiber are much stronger. German scientists are now claiming to have ...

the Composite Materials Handbook (CMH-17) 4, which includes polymer matrix composites of general interest. As a result, it is often possible to obtain datasets for similar composite materials that ...

In a demonstration of the composite's properties – which can be seen in the video below – sheets of the material and of standard glass were dropped from a height of 25 cm (9.8 in) onto a tabletop.

REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. (July 19, 2013) -- In the future, Army aircraft may be made of all composite materials, and the Prototype Integration Facility Advanced Composites Laboratory is ready. Part ...

Composite decking is made from a mixture of organic and synthetic materials, such as plastic and chemical additives. The most common types of composite include wood-plastic composite, PVC decking ...

Mathematicians have found that they can design a range of composite materials from moiré patterns created by rotating and stretching one lattice relative to another. Their electrical and other ...

Composite armor works on the principle that tanks are protected by sheets of metal like titanium and steel, so by adding lightweight yet strong materials in between these layers, the tank's ...
