Oak Ridge researchers combine origami-inspired folding principles with hybrid composite printing to eliminate tooling costs.
Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHS) have high contact angles (CAs > 150°), low sliding angles (SAs < 10°), and low contact angle hysteresis (CAH) 1,2,3. The lure of SHS owes to their potential ...
The incorporation of various reinforcements in aluminium composites markedly improves their thermal, mechanical, and wear characteristics when compared to composites with a single reinforcement.
As modern warfare evolves towards increased speed, autonomy, and precision, the role of advanced composite materials has become more critical than ever. This webinar explores how high-performance ...
One technology that is currently directly available is coprocessing in cement manufacturing. This offers a unique waste management solution, where the material is simultaneously used as both a highly ...
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 ...
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 ...
