Rowan University researchers have demonstrated a new method for repairing damage in advanced composite materials, offering a ...

In a win for chemistry, inventors have designed a closed-loop path for synthesizing an exceptionally tough carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer and later recovering all of its starting materials. In a win ...

A new manufacturing technique developed by Concordia researchers could make small wind turbines lighter, less expensive and ...

Lightweight, high-strength polymer composites are essential to modern engineering, but their production has long been hindered by complexity, inefficiency, and reliance on manual adjustments. A study ...

Distinguished R&D Staff, part of the Soft Materials and Membranes group within the Chemical Sciences Division at Oak Ridge ...

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 ...

In a previous article we reviewed rapid forming of thermoplastic composites (TPC). In the second part of this three-part series, we’ll explore the thermal processes and how these can be managed, ...

The global polymer 3D printing market is entering a period of accelerated expansion, with its value projected to rise from ...

In a win for chemistry, inventors at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have designed a closed-loop path for synthesizing an exceptionally tough carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer, ...

A polymer, functionalized carbon fibers and a crosslinker are mixed and cured. The components can be retrieved by addition of an alcohol, pinacol. In a win for chemistry, inventors at the Department ...
