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 ...

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, ...

Currently, polymer composites are widely used in the manufacture of elements of gas turbine engines, unmanned aerial vehicles and shell pipes. Traditional blade processing of such materials does not ...

Outlines the latest developments in fiber-reinforced polymer composites and their applications in civil engineering Reviews recent advancements in the design and processing techniques of composite ...

• We have developed a new polymer-blending technique with only a high-shear flow field without any additives. • We have enabled nano-scale dispersion of immiscible polymers by blending with high-shear ...

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 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, ...
