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 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, ...

In a win for chemistry, inventors have designed a closed-loop path for synthesizing an exceptionally tough carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer and later recovering all of its starting materials. In a win ...

Polymers are complex materials with flexible forms, widely varied compositions, and properties that change as the polymers interact with their environment over time. Structurally, polymers are large ...

This year, the focus will be on sustainable materials and energy-efficient processing for composite structures supported by digital technologies. While polymer composites have gained prominence for ...
