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, ...

To improve the application of carbon black (CB)-filled polymer composites, we investigated the relationship between the processing parameters, microstructure and electrical properties of injection ...

The “Rheology and Processing of Polymers” Special Issue contains the most recent discoveries in the field of rheology and polymer processing, featuring cutting-edge research concentrating on the ...

In order to build new infrastructure and to build new structures, advanced fibre-reinforced polymer composites have become essential materials. Advanced fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for ...

Dielectric properties of polymer composites have generated considerable interest owing to their potential for high-performance energy storage, sensing and actuation applications. These composite ...

UD tapes must be fully impregnated since there is no carrier to support the material in the transverse direction such as the paper used with thermoset prepregs. Most UD tapes are supplied in ...

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 ...

Thermally conductive polymer composites consist of fillers oriented in certain directions that form pathways for heat flow. However, conventional methods to control the orientation of these fillers ...

Polymer matrix composites are highly susceptible to damage when used in various environmental extremes. This susceptibility results from a number of physical factors common to polymers in general and ...

This year, the focus will be on sustainable materials and energy-efficient processing for composite structures supported by digital technologies. While polymer composites have gained prominence for ...

Explore advanced composite and polymer materials, their processing and applications, driven by leading research and strong industrial engagement. The course draws upon the internationally recognised ...

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, ...
