Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...

FRPCs are composed of fibers such as glass, carbon, or natural fibers embedded in a polymer matrix, such as thermoplastics or thermosets. FRPCs provide several advantages more than conventional ...

Wind turbine blades are being buried at their end of life (EOL), a practice soon to be prohibited by landfill bans taking effect across Europe in 2025. With a forecast of 43 million tons to be ...

Figure 1. (click to enlarge) Available in tape or rod form, carbon-fiber composites are increasingly being used in place of metals for implants. The basic mechanical principles behind implants used ...

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, ...

We’re talking about composites, which are basically materials made from two or more different components. Think of it like a ...

The class of materials known as ceramic matrix composites, or CMCs, shows considerable promise for providing fracture-toughness values similar to those for metals such as cast iron. Two kinds of ...

In line with its “Michelin in Motion 2030” strategy, the Group is leveraging its know-how and expertise to expand into new ...
