“Innovation in Materials” award recognizes successful continuous fiber reclamation and reuse for a composite hydrogen tank.
A total of eight scholarships have been awarded to students pursuing research in a composites-related field, to be presented at SPE ACCE 2025.
Compared to legacy materials like steel, aluminum, iron and titanium, composites are still coming of age, and only just now are being better understood by design and manufacturing engineers. However, composites’ physical properties — combined with unbeatable light weight — make them undeniably attractive.
DLR has developed a novel approach to produce thermoplastic impregnated fibers for lower cost versus current slit-tape materials.
Aeroflax flax fiber-based prepreg and one-step thermoplastic manufacturing process for 100% recyclable panels production pioneer lighter weight, reduce CO2 emissions.
Though its recent SuperTruck project used CFRP to slash over 3,200 lb, Volvo says it needs lower cost materials like recycled carbon fiber.
Pioneered process successfully upcycles Endumax composite material, particularly fishing nets, ropes and air cargo containers, into carbon-neutral feedstock for application reuse.
Alex Edge, sales and business development manager for recycler ELG Carbon Fibre (Coseley, U.K.), says his company’s recycled carbon fiber (RCF) products can offer from 30 to 40 percent cost savings vs. virgin carbon fiber (VCF). Tim Rademacker, a managing director at competitor CFK Valley Recycling (Stade, Germany) cites savings of 20 to 30 percent.
The New York-based startup recently partnered with a wind blade recycling company and plans to produce its first full-scale prototypes this year.
Combined know-how and expertise will be used to calculate life cycle analysis (LCA) and GHG emissions for environmental impact reduction in Teijin’s FRPs and other product life cycles.
