Polymer materials offer cost-effective solutions in engineering, yet their limitations prompt research into nano-reinforced composites for improved performance.
According to Jacob Nuechterlein, co-founder and solutions developer for Elementum 3D, the aluminum alloy used in the company’s newly invented metal matrix composite (MMC) is not 3D-printable on its ...
Ceramic matrix composites (CMC) use ceramic fibers in a ceramic matrix to enable high-performance structures at high temperatures. For example, the silicon carbide (SiC) fiber-reinforced SiC matrix ...
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 ...
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 ...
Through the PEPR Recycling programme, France is structuring a national response to one of the composites industry’s most pressing challenges: enabling the circular transformation of high-performance ...
