Comparison of the UK and Australian Carbon Fibre Industries

Chris Wilkinson from The Manufacturing Institute in the UK helps small and medium enterprises improve manufacturing processes to increase efficiency and increases public awareness of manufacturing with advanced manufacturing technologies and materials such as carbon fibre.

While carbon fibre based composite materials are still in their early days, the Manufacturing Instutute helps manufacturers to understand these materials and the associated manufacturing processes and to develop expertise with them so that they can compete as opportunities arise.

In this interview he compares the UK carbon fibre industry to that of Australia, and the role of the Manufacturing Institute in the UK, to that of VCAMM in Australia. He says that VCAMM's model is advanced in its thinking, and with their involvement with academia, they will be able to exploit academic reserarch such that they will play an important part in the development of the the carbon fibre industry in Australia.

This interview was recorded at the Carbon Fibre - Future Directions conference, held in Geelong Australia and organised by VCAMM and Deakin University.

The Current State of the Global Semiconductor Market

The global semiconductor market has entered an exciting period. Demand for chip technology is both driving the industry as well as hindering it, with current chip shortages predicted to last for some time. Current trends will likely shape the future of the industry, which is set to continue to show

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.
