Time-consuming testing and computer simulations are bottlenecks in the design of new materials. A thesis from the University ...

In a recent breakthrough, Dr. Huo Zhipeng and his student Chen Zuoyang from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the ...

UDRI offers a suite of in-house tools for design of composite structures and devices. These algorithms attempt to minimize a user-defined objective, while considering any relevant design constraints.

UDRI’s Advanced Composites researchers design, model, manufacture, develop processes, repair, and characterize advanced composites and hybrid materials. Focusing on aerospace and high performance ...

Deconstructing epoxy resins with hot acetic acid has the potential to provide a scalable and affordable solution for ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
