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 ...

Machining composites is a dusty, arduous and abrasive process that is hard on cutting tools, requiring the right combination ...

6% The proportion of fibre-reinforced polymer composite materials reused in secondary applications. >95% The percentage of fibre-reinforced polymers made from virgin materials derived from fossil ...

Composite materials are being successfully adopted for certification and low initial rate production (LRIP) in eVTOL aircraft variants today. As demand for eVTOL grows, vehicle build rates will ...

Composite materials need the high performance ... and the resin collected for reuse. In order to make these processes viable value needs to be derived both from the recovered fibre and the recovered ...

Our work includes R&D with a wide range of adhesive, composite, plastic and core materials. We process and evaluate fiber-reinforced polymeric composite materials, adhesives and primers, cores, ...
