An Overview Into the New ISO TS for Graphene-Related 2D Materials
Caio Lo Sardo, VP of MITO Material Solutions has taken a leading role in the first graphene document in development led by the U.S. committee within the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Committee (TC) 229, Nanotechnologies. Right now, when looking at graphene materials, no standard exists to classify graphene-related 2D materials and ensure the material will have concise technical specifications. The new standard includes a framework that is tailored to be useful for users, academia and regulators. This project will establish consensus-based parameters for commercial graphene purchases to confirm the material data sheets meet the expected standards. During this overview, Caio will share insights into the compilation of framework that have been built around graphene, with industry peer review, the study of the characteristics and zero in on what matters going forward for people who use graphene.

Using Recycled Carbon Fiber Nonwovens to Accelerate AAM Development
Advanced air mobility (AAM) is reshaping the future of passenger and cargo transport, prioritizing lightweight and sustainable materials to drive advancements in electric flight and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology. In this webinar, Dr. Mandy Clement and Dr. Tim Swait will present a recent collaboration between the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) and James Cropper. This pioneering project focused on developing reinforced UAV wing skins that offer strength, lightweight properties and recyclability in equal measure. In the project, the emphasis was on the use of advanced manufacturing techniques, such as tailored fiber placement (TFP), to precisely reinforce critical areas of the UAV wing skin without adding unnecessary weight. James Cropper’s recycled carbon nonwovens are utilized within the project to facilitate part manufacture via TFP, providing a lightweight substrate for continuous fibers to be stitched to, thereby improving handling during production. The webinar will focus on the project’s main objectives, discussing the challenges and material validation that resulted in the delivery of highly efficient, lightweight UAV structures with sustainable materials integral to the design and successful manufacture. Agenda: Introduction to the AMRC’s project to develop lightweight, reinforced wing skins for a UAV demonstrator The selection and testing of materials to support UAV part design and manufacture An overview of recycled carbon nonwovens covering their structure, supply, key differences from virgin fiber and the benefits they offer The main conclusions from the project, outputs and next steps
