Recently, Dr. Huo Zhipeng and his student Lu Yidong from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of Chinese Academy of Sciences have created a new type of composite material for shielding against neutron ...

Composites have become key materials for strategic industries such as aerospace, new energy vehicles, and high-end equipment due to their superior specific ...

JEC Composites Magazine: Dr Passaro, can you tell us more about your role in CETMA? I started working at CETMA as a researcher in thermoplastic-matrix composites over 20 years ago. In 2015, I became ...

This schematic shows an engineered material with composite layers. Layers of carbon fibers (the long silver tubes) have microscopic forests of carbon nanotubes between them (the array of tiny brown ...

Recently, Chongqing City government decided to apply those soft bridge anti-collision device in 5 bridges within the city’s jurisdiction as well as the provinces of Fujian and Guangdong. According to ...

Computational homogenization has emerged as an indispensable tool for bridging the gap between the microscale heterogeneity of composite materials and their macroscopic behaviour. By employing ...

Composite materials are engineered by fusing different materials, typically consisting of a matrix (a polymer, metal, or ceramic) and a reinforcement (such as fibers, particles, or flakes) that ...

Imagine trying to design machines that will last forever, regardless of use or destination. Instead of those machines requiring a steady stream of spare parts (essentially impossible for space probes ...

The practice of combining materials to achieve better performance has accompanied humanity since the earliest constructions. One of the first known examples emerged over five thousand years ago, when ...

Fiber-reinforced composite wing components, commonly stacked with aluminum and titanium, can challenge the machining process, including cutting tool security and final surface quality. Source (All ...
