In my August 2021 column, I introduced the composites building block approach as a step-by-step series of mechanical tests of increasing complexity, coupled with analyses performed at each step, that ...

“Self-responsive” nanomaterial-based composites AMRC’s Matthew Collinson (top photo) inspects a composite demonstrator component incorporating carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and copper contacts to enable ...

Advanced composites play a crucial role in efforts to achieve a carbon-neutral future, enabling structures that are simultaneously resistant and lightweight, and therefore energy-efficient, for ...

Advanced composites are gaining ground in many areas, especially aerospace, automotive and renewable energies, as they are lightweight and help to save energy. What is still missing are accurate and ...
