ICCO Composites was chosen for its expertise in the field of complex profiles. “As part of this European project, we incorporated optic fibres into our pultruded composite profiles. This innovation ...

3D printed core composite parts offer a practical way to make laminated pieces without a traditional mold. The project focuses on using 3D modeling and 3D printing to create a core that helps save ...

There are multiple ways to make composites using Helicoid Industries’ patented technology — including AFP, hand layup and filament winding — where the rotation of each ply in a composite laminate (top ...

One of the largest concerns surrounding the development of the hydrogen-powered car is safety. Many fear that an accident or a small spark could ignite a powerful explosion, making these types of cars ...

Engineers have developed a method to produce aerospace-grade composites without the enormous ovens and pressure vessels. The technique may help to speed up the manufacturing of airplanes and other ...

(Nanowerk News) Polymers reinforced with ultra-fine strands of carbon fibers epitomize composite materials that are “light as a feather and strong as steel,” earning them versatile applications across ...

The manufacturing of carbon fiber-based composites uses fossil resources, which a research and technology project is trying to replace with bio-sourced materials. Credit: IRT Jules Verne Wood, a ...

This work discusses selecting optimal brake friction composite alternatives based on an integrated MABAC (multi-attributive border approximation area comparison) and AHP (analytic hierarchy process) ...

It is often said that Percy Spencer invented the microwave oven accidentally. In 1945, he was working on magnetrons for Raytheon when he discovered that a candy bar in his pocket had melted. In the ...

AZoM discusses the potential for the use of composites in the construction sector with Casey Ingle from Owens Corning Composites Building Elements. Owens Corning will be exhibiting at JEC World - The ...
