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.
While carbon fibers and the composites made from them have been around for a good many decades, they continue to gain public attention through the marketing efforts of aircraft companies, such as Airbus and Boeing, as well as Formula 1 racing teams and OEMs of high-end consumer goods. Today, most carbon fiber still
Fireproof, lightweight ceramic material ALEC2 is highly sustainable, suitable for manufacturing a variety of aerospace products, as well as marine and other industries.
A new range of 3D printing materials are formulated for use on any pellet-based fused deposition modeling printer.
Attendees who register on or before Oct. 10 get $100 off their conference fees – no code required.
There is a generation of wind turbine blades at or near the end of their useful life. Disposing of them, recycling them or reusing them requires a better understanding of the blade end-of-life landscape.
Following a depolymerization, purification and reformulation process, the resulting Elium thermoplastic resin is said to enable the manufacture of 100% recyclable wind turbine blades.
EU-funded MORPHO project will use embedded sensors, data-driven hybrid twins and machine learning to increase RTM yield, improve damage-tolerant design, achieve SHM and 100% recycling.
