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 ...

Researchers have created a self-healing composite that is tougher than materials currently used in aircraft wings, turbine blades and other applications—and can repair itself more than 1,000 times.

Atomic-6’s Space Armor (registered trademark) tiles have been chosen by the spacecraft company Portal Space Systems as a ...

In a 1-year trial with a sewage plant company, Toray’s CO2 separation membrane demonstrated 70% lower moisture removal costs.

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 ...

DarkAero 1 is a long-range, high-speed, two-person, experimental all-composite airplane. The entire airframe, made mostly from carbon fiber/epoxy, weighs about 200 pounds. Photo Credit: DarkAero ...
