In the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic, construction materials such as steel—a necessary material for use in traditional concrete applications—have been significantly impacted by price increases ...
FRP exhibits high levels of corrosion and chemical resistance. Unlike metal, it does not rust, nor does it rot like wood. This means that these composite materials are extremely durable with prolonged ...
As the demand for more sustainable construction grows and raw material shortages like steel continue to be a challenge, fiber-reinforced concrete has become an increasingly popular choice for flatwork ...
Concrete is an integral part of any construction project, whether you are building roads, a a ground floor in your private home, or a power plant. This is because concrete is very durable, but it can ...
Traditional carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials are neither recyclable nor repairable due to the thermoset polymers' permanently crosslinked network. Strong and durable like ...
Key opportunities in the glass fiber market include increasing demand in construction insulation, automotive lightweighting, and wind energy sectors. Innovations in low-carbon manufacturing and ...
Luxury automotive manufacturer JLR has reengineered the instrument panel crosscar beam in an effort to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
REFRESH partners developed a vacuum-infused blade tip with thermobonding-produced rGF mats, showing mechanical properties ...
A new carbon-fiber-reinforced PEEK filament for use in 3D-printed medical implants has been developed by German chemicals company Evonik. The biomaterial can be processed using common extrusion-based ...
