A team of 19 graduates, apprentices, and year-in-industry students at the National Composites Centre (NCC) worked together to imagine, design, and manufacture a wild water kayak built from sustainable composite […]
Talgo was able to remove 50% of the weight of the running gear frames for high-speed trains by using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites. The reduction in the tare […]
The strength, durability and light weight of composites have made them the material of choice for many applications in aerospace, automotive and other industries. But composites can’t always provide all […]
Gaining widespread acceptance for a new material can be a slow process. But that’s not been the case with graphene, which appears to be on a fast track to adoption […]
Fire codes can often seem rather mystifying. I’m not just talking about complicated code requirements. Development and enforcement of codes can also be puzzling. Throughout this discussion, keep in mind […]
On March 9, two U.S. Air Force pilots became the first airmen to fly an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicle. The milestone stems from a two-year partnership between […]
Sustainability has become a core part of Volkswagen AG’s corporate strategy, and it’s shaking up the company’s supply chain, processes and material selection. This presents an excellent opportunity for composite […]
Modeled on the angular wings of an F-117 Nighthawk fighter jet, a roof made from composite sandwich panels soars atop a lounge and deck above the penthouse of a Sydney, […]
The Carbon Fibre Circular Demonstration Project was launched on Earth Day, April 22nd, with a focus on the reuse of carbon fiber components from the sports equipment industry, The project […]
