UAMMI announces composites 202 class in September


Utah Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Initiative (UAMMI) announces a new class, Composites 202, that is taking placing at the Davis Technical College – Applied Science Building (Kaysville, Utah) on Sept. 27, 2022 from 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. MDT. 

Presented by UAMMI, and sponsored by Davis Technical College, the Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation (IACMI, Knoxville, Tenn., U.S.) and Composites One (Schaumburg, Ill., U.S.), the free class will cover six processes:

  • Vacuum infusion processing
  • Filament winding
  • Roll wrapping
  • Bladder molding
  • Curing with a hot bonder
  • Thermoplastics

During the class, the basic nature of composites and the most common materials that are used will be explained. There will also be a discussion on the advantages composites bring compared to other structural materials, and a non-technical overview on how composites are designed and manufactured. UAMMI organizers say the most common products made from composites will be discussed and why this material was applied.

Students should be able to converse easily about composites using the correct terms and also be able to understand the basic concepts of engineering that are used to design and manufacture composite parts. Students will gain an understanding of the various composite materials available and their advantages and disadvantages.

While the class is currently in-person only, there is potential for it be available online, depending on registration numbers.

Revolutionizing Industries: Innovative Applications of Polymer Nanocomposites

Image
  In the dynamic realm of materials science, polymer nanocomposites have emerged as a revolutionary class of materials with unparalleled versatility and performance. From automotive engineering to biomedical technology, polymer nanocomposites are revolutionizing industries. This article explores the potential of polymer nanocomposites, highlighting their contributions to advancing materials science and supporting a sustainable future.1 What are Polymer Nanoparticles? Polymer nanoparticles, often termed nanofillers or nanoscale additives, are integral to polymer nanocomposites, imbuing them with exceptional properties. Ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers in diameter, these nanoparticles integrate into the polymer matrix, influencing mechanical strength, thermal conductivity, and electrical resistivity. Carbon-based nanoparticles like carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene reinforce polymer matrices effectively, while clay nanoparticles enhance mechanical reinforcement and flame retardanc...

  7th Edition of International Conferences on Composite Materials composite.sciencefather.com Award Nomination -  https://x-i.me/compram1 Abstract Submission -  https://x-i.me/compabst2 Green composite material made from flax and chitosan Composite materials provide stability in aircraft parts, sports equipment, and everyday household items. However, most of these materials have a poor carbon footprint and are not naturally degradable. A more sustainable alternative has been developed by a team from the University of Stuttgart led by Dr. Linus Stegbauer from the Institute of Interfacial Process Engineering and Plasma Technology (IGVP). This completely bio-based composite material is made of flax fibers and the biopolymer chitosan. The study is published in the journal  Composites Science and Technology . Renewable components In order to be able to offer more environmentally friendly products, the composites industry needs alternatives to fossil materials. The ch...
