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.
Successful execution of multiple customer missions with reusable composite Neutron and Electron rockets as well as new partnerships highlight Rocket Lab’s expertise.
Gold and Silver awards include SMC LightTurn design for seated showering, an SMC floating platforms for sustainable, floating gardens and a BMC TileTurn Solar reflective sustainable roofing solution.
The PROVE Lab car is made of carbon fiber composites and features more than 100 ft2 of solar panels.
Denso, one of Canatu’s largest shareholders and an automotive supplier, will help height Canatu’s CNT performance, develop CNT reactors and advance its practical applications.
Not yet through their ‘round the world flight, this superlight solar plane’s airframe-proven materials are already destined for higher callings.
The project was sponsored by Teijin, which supplied carbon fiber and aramid materials for the vehicle.
Adhesives supplier SCIGRIP (Durham, N.C.) sponsors the entry from Poland, dubbed the SCIGRIP Solar Boat, during the fifth Dong Energy Solar Challenge for boats, held June 28 to July 5, in The Netherlands.
A very short history of solar-powered flight.
The Solar Impulse 2 solar-powered plane aims to fly around the world in 2015. Titan Aerospace's Solara 50 solar-powered UAV will provide Internet access for Google. Both rely heavily on composites.
First initial testing of the production vehicle’s BinC composite body structure, drivetrain and battery pack demonstrates progress toward real-world validation.
