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.
Innovative composite materials trim mass, costs and noise on the high-volume mid-engine sports car.
The Tier One’s Sept. 2021 BEyond magazine highlights its investments in new factories, materials and technologies for the next generation of cost-effective, sustainable composites for aviation.
As composites take a larger part (and form larger parts) in the aerospace structures sector, it’s not just a make-it-or-break-it proposition.
Project for thermoplastic composite liquid hydrogen tanks aims for two demonstrators and TRL 4 by 2025.
In the automotive industry, R&D activities are increasing in the area of bio-based resin systems as the pressure to lightweight auto parts and participate in sustainability and recyclability programs mounts.
Since 1997 the U.K.-based company has increasingly developed its reputation as a materials distributor for companies Armacell, Hexcel and Sicomin.
CW went to JEC World 2022 not sure what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised, and learned much about where and how new composites technologies are being developed.
D.J. DeLong has been involved in the manufacture and sales of carbon fibers for 18 years.
