The wind energy market has long been considered the world’s largest market, by volume, for glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites — and increasingly, carbon fiber composites — as larger turbines and longer wind blades are developed, requiring higher performance, lighter weight materials. The outer skins of wind and tidal turbine blades generally comprise infused, GFRP laminates sandwiching foam core. Inside the blade, rib-like shear webs bonded to spar caps reinforce the structure. Spar caps are often made from GFRP or, as blade lengths lengthen, pultruded carbon fiber for additional strength.
A 15-year partnership collaborating on carbon fiber core conductors has culminated in numerous global projects like modernizing TenneT’s 400-kilovolt high-voltage grid.
The Emilia 4 solar car is based on the use of a series of high-tech features including advanced materials such as carbon fiber laminates.
The National Composites recreational watercraft line features battery- or solar-powered technologies with a fiberglass frame and room to hold four people.
Longest commercial Moon mission using Firefly’s composites-intensive Blue Ghost lander completes more than 346 hours of surface operations, transmitting more than 119 gigabytes of data back to Earth.
The Italian Emilia 4 team was greeted on June 30 by the Italian Consulate in Chicago, IL, US as they prepare to represent Europe in the American Solar Challenge.
A wind and solar photovoltaic hybrid demonstrator has recently been installed at an EDPR wind farm in Cádiz, Spain
Environmental management systems (EMS) certification, in addition to clean energy investments and more eco-friendly prepreg products, are some of the ways PRF is lessening the company’s environmental impact.
Given the extreme temperatures of the Sun’s corona how can NASA’s Parker Solar Probe endure the region to carry out its mission to study our local star?
In 2021, the U.S. surpassed 200 GW of renewable energy capacity including wind, solar and battery storage. However, bottlenecks caused by inflation, supply chain issues and other components threaten the ability to reach climate targets.
The material manufacturer supports the development of a solar-powered electric car with material donations, technical service and as a gold sponsor.
