DarkAero 1 is a long-range, high-speed, two-person, experimental all-composite airplane. The entire airframe, made mostly from carbon fiber/epoxy, weighs about 200 pounds. Photo Credit: DarkAero ...

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 ...

MUNICH—As a perennial fan of “How It’s Made” videos, my visit last month to GE’s Global Research Center in Munich was particularly fascinating. Although the campus is not involved with any actual ...

Rapid carbothermal shock processing converts shredded wind turbine blade waste into high-purity silicon carbide and graphene, ...

This paper reports results of measurements performed on carbon fiber-epoxy composite ( unidirectional sample ) at microwave frequencies in the X-band (8-12 GHz). These measurements were performed on ...

The first Boeing 787 was delivered on September 26th 2011, an aircraft on which hundreds of HexMC parts from Hexcel have been certified. HexMC is a new product form of composite material which is ...

Cambridge, Mass. – June 25, 2014 – In wind farms across North America and Europe, sleek turbines equipped with state-of-the-art technology convert wind energy into electric power. But tucked inside ...

An international research group has engineered a novel high-strength flexible device by combining piezoelectric composites with unidirectional carbon fiber. The new device transforms kinetic energy ...
