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, ...

Thermoplastic composites manufacturing and smart preforming enables “one-minute” manufacturing of composite parts. In addition, thermoplastic composites are easier to recycle than their thermoset ...

The material-interface-structure-function/performance coupled design method and the additive/formative/subtractive composite manufacturing method provide new ...

Continuous Composites’ CF3D fuses continuous-fibre steering, instant UV curing and an automated, anisotropy-aware design workflow into a full-stack platform. The result: near-net composite components ...

Since his postdoctoral days at MIT, Hang Yu, associate professor of materials science and engineering, has been wrestling ...

Figure 1. Ultrasonic testing using pulse echo and through-transmission methods. Pulse echo (left and center) uses a transducer that sends and receives ultrasound energy, producing both A- and B-scan ...

A research project undertaken by the Bristol Composites Institute (BCI) at the University of Bristol used laser profile sensors from Micro-Epsilon to detect defects formed during the composites ...

The partnership joins FibreCoat’s expertise in fibre coatings with Lofith’s thermoplastic tape and composite manufacturing. Together, the companies will integrate FibreCoat’s coated fibres into Lofith ...

UD’s Center for Composite Materials reflects on a legacy of innovation and charts a course for the next half-century From hockey sticks to jetliners, composite innovations developed at the University ...

Globally, scientists and environmentalists are developing various means for effective decarbonization, and one such measure has been the utilization of composites. The term “decarbonization” refers to ...
