In my January 2019 column, I discussed methods to determine whether properties obtained from mechanical testing of composites are correct — or even reasonable. One of the methods focused on comparing ...

Over the years, HPC has devoted considerable ink to the National Center for Advanced Materials Performance (NCAMP) and its ongoing efforts to establish a centralized composite material property ...

Carbon fibre composites have garnered considerable attention due to their exceptional strength-to-weight ratios, making them indispensable in aerospace, automotive, and high-performance engineering ...

Diamond composites have emerged as critical materials in cutting, drilling and other high-performance applications due to their exceptional hardness and wear resistance. Recent work has focused on ...

In an advance that could lead to composite materials with virtually limitless performance capabilities, a University of Wisconsin-Madison scientist has dispelled a 50-year-old theoretical notion that ...

Scientists are developing an approach to enhance multifunctionality and structural properties simultaneously by embedding patterned nanostructures in composite materials, which could result in more ...

This book is the first to deal with the important topic of the fire behaviour of fibre reinforced polymer composite materials. Composites are used in almost every conceivable application, although the ...

MADISON - In an advance that could lead to composite materials with virtually limitless performance capabilities, a University of Wisconsin-Madison scientist has dispelled a 50-year-old theoretical ...

In recent years, electro-conductive composite ceramics have gradually become a research hotspot in the functionalization of structural ceramics. However, the improvement of conductivity generally ...

Natural fibers have a rich history of reinforcing materials for over 3,000 years. The renewed interest in natural fiber composites in the last five years is driven by a focus on improving and ...

No longer is product design constrained to the property limits and performance characteristics of unmodified grades of resins. Thermoplastics that are reinforced with high-strength, high-modulus ...
