Imagine trying to design machines that will last forever, regardless of use or destination. Instead of those machines requiring a steady stream of spare parts (essentially impossible for space probes ...
Market valued at $52.60B in 2024, projected 8.82% CAGR growth driven by EV lightweighting, aerospace efficiency, wind ...
The researchers estimate their self-healing strategy can extend the lifetime of conventional fibre-reinforced composite materials by centuries compared to the current decades-long design-life. “This ...
Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...
Deeptech company Thiax has secured backing to advance its non-destructive 3D X-ray inspection technology, aiming to improve ...
The journey towards circular high-performance composites begins with one core question: why redesign an already mature class of materials? To set the scene, we asked the consortium to describe the ...
One of the first applications where ATSP polymer is being considered is for a NASA-funded project involving rollable or foldable composites for deployable structures. In order to participate, late ...
A polymer, functionalized carbon fibers and a crosslinker are mixed and cured. The components can be retrieved by addition of an alcohol, pinacol. In a win for chemistry, inventors at the Department ...
Polymers are composed of very large molecules formed by a combination of different monomers (smaller and simpler molecules), which can be natural or synthetic. Polymers are the basis of many ...
