A joint research project by the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology (F-ICT, Pfintzal, Germany) and the Fraunhofer Project Centre for Composites Research (FPC, London, ON, Canada) has been ...

The scalable production process seamlessly combines performance, integrated noise reduction, and sustainability.

The new composites are designed as alternatives to thermoset sheet molding compounds (SMCs). Offering similar mechanical performance, they are much more ductile and, as thermoplastic systems, much ...

Rheological and thermal properties of LD-PE and LD-PE + 65 vol% Ni composite were examined by viscosity, pvt and thermal conductivity measurements at a wide range of shear rate, temperature and ...

Autoclave curing has long been the "gold standard" for aerospace composite parts. Very few processes can match the consistent part quality and high fiber volume of prepreg laminates cured in an ...

Injection molding is a critical manufacturing process, and has been so for a long time. It still has room to improve in several areas however, and “smart” injection molding equipment is gaining ...

Tool Gauge, a U.S. manufacturer of complex, high-value plastic and metal assemblies for global aerospace original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and Victrex, a global leader in PEEK- and PAEK-based ...
