Materials scientists have found that oscillating loads at certain frequencies can lead to several-fold increases in the strength of composites with an interface that is modified by a molecular layer ...

France's Nawa Technologies is setting up operations in the United States, and bringing its fast, affordable vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT) manufacturing process into a new application: ...

ICCO Composites was chosen for its expertise in the field of complex profiles. “As part of this European project, we incorporated optic fibres into our pultruded composite profiles. This innovation ...

There are multiple ways to make composites using Helicoid Industries’ patented technology — including AFP, hand layup and filament winding — where the rotation of each ply in a composite laminate (top ...

Since its introduction to Composites production over two decades ago, Closed Molding has required a high cost and a high learning curve to introduce it into the manufacturing process. It has been ...

Recently, we told you about a method for combining the 3D printing of a plastic airplane wing with printed 3D electronics, including antennas. The technique could be used to print conformal ...
