Machining composites is a dusty, arduous and abrasive process that is hard on cutting tools, requiring the right combination ...

The major advantage of composites compared to other engineering materials, such as metals, is their strength- (and stiffness) to-weight ratio. The combination of polymer and, typically, carbon fibre ...

This video takes a look at composite materials, materials that are made up from two or more distinct materials. Composites are engineered to obtain materials with very useful material properties, ...

Currently, up to 40% of the material is wasted in the production process, and after a lifetime of 15 to 30 years, 98% of the ...

This discovery positions CNT fibers as a sustainable alternative to traditional materials like metals, polymers and the much larger carbon fibers ... fully recyclable composites in aircraft ...
