The method is reported in  Carbon  and involves making briquettes—dense packages of carbon nanotube powders. Nanocomposites made with briquettes perform equally well as those made from the more expensive masterbatches, which are also polymer-specific—that is, less versatile. We believe the use of dense briquettes of carbon nanotubes can significantly faci...

This latest technology is said to resolve two longstanding challenges for self-healing materials, and can significantly extend the lifespan of structural components such as wind turbine blades and aircraft wings. “Researchers have developed a variety of self-healing materials, but previous strategies for self-healing composites have faced two practical challenges,” according to Jason Patrick, corresponding author of the research paper and an assistant professor of civil For instance...

Composite Materials have begun to be used for the manufacturing of aircraft  fuselages  thanks to their strength, light weight and stiffness, physical properties that are particularly well-suited for aircraft. However, after many flight cycles, the composite materials must be examined and repaired to ensure integrity is retained. As a result, flight engineers have come up with a multi-step process to determine how composite materials on aircraft fuselages should be managed. Step 1: Inspect the aircraft for damages Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) publish detailed guides regarding  inspections and dam...

This means supporting Supernatural-x in the construction of a concept model — which will be used to promote the project directly to educational and composites industry settings — and then the ¼ scale 240-mile-per-hour operational model. The model program is reported to be essential for building the research and testing to ensure the safety and performance of the full-scale hydroplane. The build of the ¼-scale model will commence once the r...

  PRF Composite Materials introduces RP570 FR eXpress cure prepreg system Composite Matedrials  (Poole, Dorset, U.K.) presents its RP570 FR eXpress cure prepreg system. Formulated for structural components requiring fire, smoke and toxicity (FST) properties, RP570 FR is a fire-retardant, ultra-fast prepreg system which is cured and demoldable after five minutes at 160°C. According to the company, the express resin system is primarily designed for snap cure press molding. However, it can equally be used in conventional autoclave molding and reduce time in the autoclave — up to 50% less — thus increasing productivity and lowering energy consumption per part. RP570 FR is tested to Federal Aviation Requirements 25.853 Appendix F Part 1, AITM 2.0007 and 3.0005, UL94 V1 and FMVS Standard No.302. “RP570 FR is part of PRF’s drive to develop materials that offer measurable advantages in cost reduction and improved sustainability,” Dave Ellson, managing director, PRF Comp...
