Opportunities include high demand for lightweight and high-strength aluminum alloys for enhanced aircraft fuel efficiency and ...

Composite materials are engineered by fusing different materials, typically consisting of a matrix (a polymer, metal, or ceramic) and a reinforcement (such as fibers, particles, or flakes) that ...

Researchers have created a self-healing composite that is tougher than materials currently used in aircraft wings, turbine blades and other applications—and can repair itself more than 1,000 times.

Composite materials have revolu­tionised a wide range of industries, including aerospace and automotive, offering unrivalled strength, lightness and design flexibility compared to more conventional ...

Europe will generate 683,000 tons of composite waste in 2025. The global recycling capacity is currently under 100,000 tons. Until we can find better ways to repurpose these materials, over half a ...
