An international research group has engineered a novel high-strength flexible device by combining piezoelectric composites with unidirectional carbon fiber. The new device transforms kinetic energy ...

Designed to meet the specific technical needs of composite part manufacturers, this new line offers a range of functionalised and competitive unidirectional carbon materials, providing: “This new ...

The company presents for the first time long-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (LFRTs) and their application, using the example of a front end. UD tapes are composite materials based on unidirectional ...

Of the market sectors featured in CW, the one in which the design flexibility of composites is most on display is architecture. A case in point is a new building concept developed by Digital ...

Introduced to the market about five years ago, pultruded, carbon fiber-reinforced spar caps, incorporated as the reinforcing member of wind turbine rotor blades, are a byproduct of the evolution and ...

For devices that are transparent to x-rays, thermoplastic and carbon-fiber composites provide properties that are competitive with traditional metals. Barry Chadwick and Chris Toto New materials are ...

In September this year, Rock West Composites (RWC) announced a significant expansion of its in-stock, carbon fiber tubing for high-performance carbon bicycle frame applications. Carbon composite ...

When it comes to designing the moving structural elements of high-performance machine tools—such as beams, shafts and spindles, and the assemblies used to hold cutting tools—the need for the machine ...
