A new multi axis continuous carbon fiber extrusion tool aims to make “fiber steering” practical, not just impressive in demos.

A carbon fiber is prepared for mounting in a device to test its adhesion to a polymer matrix. ORNL researchers are using polymer nanofibers to increase the adhesion, and thus the performance, of ...

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 ...
