Ceramic matrix composites (CMC) consist of ceramic fibers reinforced with particulates, fibers, or cloth. Compared to conventional technical ceramics, which fracture easily under loads, CMCs have a ...

CMC tiles will be used on the Sierra Space DC100 Dream Chaser spaceplane carrying critical supplies and science experiments ...

The diagram (a) shows a 'uniaxial fiber-reinforced' composite material, and (b) shows how the stress on the composite is carried by the fibers and the matrix. In normal situations, the fiber has a ...

The aircraft fuselage manufacturer will sell its carbon and ceramic composite materials business for $165 million, helping ...

Polymer and plastic composites are plastics which are strengthened with fibers, fillers, particulates, powders and other matrix reinforcements to provide improved strength and/or stiffness. Examples ...

CDCQ, LxSim, Addcomp and Argon 18 collaborate to optimize a carbon fiber/PA6 bike seat post, democratizing AFP and ...

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRPCs) are composite materials that consist of strong fibers embedded in a resin matrix. The fibers provide strength and stiffness to the composite and generally ...

What's new is the focus on the machine's ability to keep composite materials, particularly those reinforced with glass fiber, in the loop. Glass-fiber-reinforced polymer composites are widely used ...
