New research from engineers at Monash University and RMIT has revealed that moisture absorption is the most important factor ...

Researchers planned to test how carbon fiber reacted to intense heat and humidity, but they found out something else entirely ...

Carbon fibers, due to their superior strength and lightness, are popular in aerospace engineering applications. While much effort goes into improving the strength of carbon fiber composites, such as ...

United Composite Materials, a carbon fiber manufacturer, is investing $17.5 million and creating 50 jobs in Greer.

Connecting composite components is commonly achieved through either adhesive bonding methods or mechanical fasteners. Adhesive bonding stands out as a mechanically efficient means of load transfer ...

French startup Fairmat closed a $35 million Series A funding round (€34 million) last month. It wants to turn carbon fiber composite that is no longer in use into a new material that can be used in ...

While bio-based polylactic acid (PLA) thermoplastic is relatively eco-friendly and easily recyclable, composites such as carbon fiber are much stronger. German scientists are now claiming to have ...

A Chinese research team has flight-tested a tilt-rotor drone built partly from bamboo fibers, reporting a weight reduction of more than 20% compared to an equivalent carbon-fiber design. According to ...

MUNICH—As a perennial fan of “How It’s Made” videos, my visit last month to GE’s Global Research Center in Munich was particularly fascinating. Although the campus is not involved with any actual ...
