Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...

Researchers at the University of Birmingham have developed a 3D printing method capable of producing geometrically complex ...

Ceramic fibers provide the skeletal structure of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) and are major contributors to the composite's mechanical and physical properties. The network of ceramic fibers ...

Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio-based Americhem Inc. announced the launch of nDryve, a PFAS-free, in-melt surface-modifying technology platform designed to deliver durable multi-fluid repellency against alcohol ...

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites, or CFRPs, have excellent mechanical properties, such as high strength-to-weight ratios, high stiffness, and the potential to bear dynamic loading in service ...

This graphic shows an unconventional approach to making widely used composite materials stronger and tougher. Thermoplastic fibers are deposited like cobwebs on top of rigid fibers to chemically form ...

NOTICE: The project that is the subject of this report was approved by the Governing Board of the National Research Council, whose members are drawn from the councils of the National Academy of ...

Carbon fiber-reinforced ultra-high-temperature ceramic (UHTC) matrix composites are extensively used in space shuttles and high-speed vehicles. However, these composites suffer from a lack of ...

Everyone loves LED matrices, and even if you can’t find what you like commercially, it’s pretty easy to make just what you want. Need it big? No problem; just order a big PCB and some WS2812s. Need ...

Textile Exchange launched on Monday the newly updated Preferred Fiber and Materials Matrix, an interactive platform designed to bolster what the sustainability multistakeholder group describes as a ...
