CMCs are made up of two major components: a reinforcing material for strength and stiffness and a matrix material to hold the composite together. CMCs have both ceramic reinforcement and matrix. This ...

As the automotive industry seeks ever-more-urgently to embrace composites, there is an increasing demand for testing composite material behavior at high-strain rates. The need for detailed data to ...

Researchers from the Tokyo University of Science evaluated the utility of C/UHTCMC at temperatures above 2,000ºC using arc-wind tunnel testing (pictured above). These results show degradation of the ...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Researcher David Moore holds a rectangle of hard carbon composite material, smooth with a faint woven pattern on its surface. The sample shows normal wear and tear until he turns ...

Carbon fiber-reinforced ultra-high-temperature ceramic (UHTC) matrix composites are extensively used in space shuttles and high-speed vehicles. However, these composites suffer from a lack of ...

AnalySwift, LLC, a provider of efficient high-fidelity modeling software for composites, announced that Inha University in Incheon, South Korea, is participating in its Academic Partner Program (APP), ...

Researchers have created a self-healing composite that is tougher than materials currently used in aircraft wings, turbine blades and other applications—and can repair itself more than 1,000 times.

The Startup Booster brings together 20 finalists selected from more than 160 global applicants to present their innovations ...
