To improve the application of carbon black (CB)-filled polymer composites, we investigated the relationship between the processing parameters, microstructure and electrical properties of injection ...

In a previous article we reviewed rapid forming of thermoplastic composites (TPC). In the second part of this three-part series, we’ll explore the thermal processes and how these can be managed, ...

Lightweight, high-strength polymer composites are essential to modern engineering. Yet their manufacturing remains complex, slow, and often reliant on manual adjustments. In a forward-looking analysis ...

In order to build new infrastructure and to build new structures, advanced fibre-reinforced polymer composites have become essential materials. Advanced fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for ...

UD tapes must be fully impregnated since there is no carrier to support the material in the transverse direction such as the paper used with thermoset prepregs. Most UD tapes are supplied in ...

In a win for chemistry, inventors have designed a closed-loop path for synthesizing an exceptionally tough carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer and later recovering all of its starting materials. In a win ...

Tiny but tough: Images from a scanning electron microscope shows hundreds of nanometers-long graphene sheets that are embedded in a polymer to make it tougher, stiffer, more heat resistant, and ...

This year, the focus will be on sustainable materials and energy-efficient processing for composite structures supported by digital technologies. While polymer composites have gained prominence for ...

Explore advanced composite and polymer materials, their processing and applications, driven by leading research and strong industrial engagement. The course draws upon the internationally recognised ...
