Composite materials are engineered combinations of two or more distinct materials, merging their individual properties to create a new material with enhanced characteristics. Typically composed of a reinforcing phase (like fibers or particles) embedded within a matrix (often a polymer, metal, or ceramic), composites leverage the strengths of each component to achieve superior strength, stiffness, lightness, or other desirable attributes. Their versatility extends across industries, from aerospace and automotive to construction and sports equipment, where their tailored design and exceptional properties offer solutions for high-performance applications.
Recycling in composites manufacturing is an evolving endeavor aimed at addressing sustainability challenges. Unlike traditional materials, composites often pose recycling complexities due to their multi-component nature. However, innovative techniques are emerging to tackle this issue. Methods like pyrolysis, mechanical recycling, and chemical processes are being developed to efficiently recover valuable components from composite waste, such as fibers or matrix materials.
Production commencement on Iowa line is intended to recover and divert 30,000 tons of scrapped materials from wind blades each year.
In 2018, Teijin broke ground on a facility that is reportedly the largest capacity carbon fiber line currently in existence. The line has been fully functional for nearly two years and has plenty of room for expansion.
Aitiip and the University of Slovenia have collaborated to develop, test and prove how smart magnetic nanoparticles can produce a controlled decomposition of the resin for recycling.
Recent conference in Denver, Colorado, emphasized the tools and knowledge composites manufacturers will need to meet customer and government sustainability goals.
Additional support will be provided for IMOCA projects related to building with alternative material sources, a carbon fiber recycling pilot project, increasing opportunities for female sailors and more.
HyRECM technology effectively stabilizes carbon fiber’s electrical and antenna properties, enabling development of next-gen electronics, such as the Snapdragon G3x Gen 2.
Two rCF materials and two finished rCF products maintain more than 90% performance retention rate, earn Global Recycled Standard (GRS) recognition.
CAMX 2024: Machine knives and industrial razor blades supplier American Cutting Edge offers composites manufacturers staple and custom cutting options.
A blend of recycled carbon fiber and PA6 pellets, the bicycle component will be commercialized in Q1 2024.
In an interview with one of Aptera’s co-founders, CW sheds light on the inspiration behind the crowd-funded solar electric vehicle, its body in carbon (BinC) and how composite materials are playing a role in its design.
