To improve the application of carbon black (CB)-filled polymer composites, we investigated the relationship between the processing parameters, microstructure and electrical properties of injection ...

In a previous article we reviewed rapid forming of thermoplastic composites (TPC). In the second part of this three-part series, we’ll explore the thermal processes and how these can be managed, ...

In order to build new infrastructure and to build new structures, advanced fibre-reinforced polymer composites have become essential materials. Advanced fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for ...

Tiny but tough: Images from a scanning electron microscope shows hundreds of nanometers-long graphene sheets that are embedded in a polymer to make it tougher, stiffer, more heat resistant, and ...

Wind turbine blades are being buried at their end of life (EOL), a practice soon to be prohibited by landfill bans taking effect across Europe in 2025. With a forecast of 43 million tons to be ...

This year, the focus will be on sustainable materials and energy-efficient processing for composite structures supported by digital technologies. While polymer composites have gained prominence for ...
