The matrix binds the fiber reinforcement, gives the composite component its shape and determines its surface quality. A composite matrix may be a polymer, ceramic, metal or carbon. Here’s a guide to selection.
SAMPE Europe’s International Conference and the JEC Composites Show meet in Paris again in 2010.
In the coming decade, out-of-autoclave technologies will increase composites penetration into primary flight structures.
Yes, advanced forms are in development, but has the technology progressed enough to make the business case?
The legacy of composite parts and structures is built on a family of thermosets — including epoxy, vinyl ester, polyester and phenolic — that have helped tremendously to make the industry what it is today. Not to be forgotten are thermoplastics, which have played a serious role as well, and offer advantages that promise to make this material type one of the fastest growing over the next decade.
Record crowds and reignited technological development testified to the composite industry’s renewed health and the recent recession’s demise.
Military and commercial tier supplier Elbit Cyclone maintains precision and quality as it continues growth in composites, complex assemblies and high-rate production.
Reinforced thermoplastics buy their way into structural aircraft interior components.
