Carbon fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composites represent a class of advanced materials that integrate the exceptional strength and stiffness of carbon fibres with the lightweight nature and ...

Lightweight yet strong and resistant to corrosion and weathering, carbon fiber–reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are used in aircraft, shipping containers, natural gas storage tanks, wind turbine blades, ...

Carbon reinforcement and flame-retardant qualities have been added to the Celstran portfolio of long-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (LFRTP) in two new resin lines from Ticona. LFRTPs are polymers ...

The E-Works team found what they were looking for in the fibre-reinforced plastics expert SGL Carbon. The company is now supplying the first battery boxes made of glass fibre-reinforced plastic to ...

Carbon fiber has been used in race cars and high-end road cars for decades, but the lightweight material is still considered too expensive for mainstream cars, though that may change soon. Nissan is ...

ln recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) have become widespread in a wide range of fields, from industrial use such as agriculture, infrastructure inspection and disaster investigation, to ...

Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a method to recycle nearly 100 percent of the materials in certain types of thermoset carbon fiber composites. The new method involves ...
