This work evaluates the mechanical and thermal properties of epoxy-based nanocomposites reinforced with synthesized banana fibers sourced from West Guji Zone in Ethiopia. In particular, the ...

The global emphasis on sustainable materials has intensified interest in incorporating agro-industrial waste into composite systems. Among various waste-derived reinforcements, leather waste remains ...

Through research and development, Hyperco has created a leaf spring made of an epoxy matrix material that offers performance advantages over the standard steel spring. This composite material has been ...

Demand continues to increase for ceramic matrix composites (CMC), which enable reduced weight and high performance at higher temperatures versus metals. This increases efficiency in engines, ...

The Irish-based Tricel Group has officially completed the acquisition of Matrix Composite Materials Company Ltd, a UK distributor specialising in advanced composites, effective 1 April 2026. The ...

Epoxy Resin / Borosilicate Glass Reinforced Epoxy Composites (E-Glass) are extremely strong materials that can resist shear stresses, enhancing their durability. They are used in applications such as ...

When you’re building a machine that needs to be accurate, you need to give it a nice solid base. A good base can lend strength to the machine to ensure its motions are accurate, as well as aid in ...

Most people are aware that plastic waste is a problem. Almost all types of plastics that we use in our everyday lives are derived from fossil sources. When they end up in the environment, they cause ...

For years, there has been a growing demand for materials that are lightweight with high mechanical strength. Metal matrix composites (MMCs) were developed in order to fulfill this demand and provide ...

Metal-matrix composites are either in use or prototyping for the Space Shuttle, commercial airliners, electronic substrates, bicycles, automobiles, golf clubs, and a variety of other applications.

There are some aviation observers who predict composites and titanium will rule the roost when it comes to aerospace airframes and structures. But that seems rather unlikely. Aluminum is still ...
