Explore the future of sustainable composites in architecture, from bio-based and recycled materials to hybrid solutions.
This schematic shows an engineered material with composite layers. Layers of carbon fibers (the long silver tubes) have microscopic forests of carbon nanotubes between them (the array of tiny brown ...
Researchers have created a self-healing composite that is tougher than materials currently used in aircraft wings, turbine blades and other applications—and can repair itself more than 1,000 times.
Buildings and production of the materials used in their construction emit a lot of carbon dioxide (CO 2), a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming and climate change. But storing CO ...
Most people are aware that plastic waste is a problem. Almost all types of plastics that we use in our everyday lives are ...
From resin chemistry to mould-free manufacturing, Perseus Materials is rethinking how large composite structures are made. By ...
How do you decide on the “right” fastener type for a component or assembly involving composite and plastic materials in a time-efficient way? To define which materials and concepts a fastener type is ...
