The past year has seen a lot of technology breakthroughs in engineering composites, especially those aimed at lowering cost and boosting processing speed of carbon composites for volume manufacturing, ...

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, ...

Researchers have created a self-healing composite that is tougher than materials currently used in aircraft wings, turbine blades and other applications—and can repair itself more than 1,000 times.

The performance of the final product depends heavily on the degree of cure - making it critical to ensure that the reaction goes to completion for the highest quality and reliability. Achieving this ...

New composite feedstocks could reduce the cost and production time of small, lightweight composite parts—increasing military system performance and compressing tool development and fabrication cycles.

BROMBOROUGH, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Advanced composites manufacturer Teledyne CML Composites has completed a significant investment in a new Thermoplastic processing cell developed in conjunction ...

Supercritical fluids are quickly becoming an alternative to costly and dangerous organic solvents in chemical processes. As the boundaries between gas and liquid blur at high temperatures and pressure ...
