MIT aerospace engineers have successfully designed a carbon nanotube(CNT) film that is capable of heating and solidifying a composite without requiring large ovens. The heated film causes solidification of the polymer, when electric power is supplied and it is wrapped over a multilayer polymer composite.
In an attempt to design and fabricate ultra-lightweight (ULW) materials for aircraft structures and vehicles, NASA has chosen three proposals that enable 40% weight reduction of spacecraft used for deep space exploration applications.
NASA has entered into a public-private partnership with five different organizations to provide in-depth knowledge on composite materials which could be used to increase the efficiency of aircraft.
The Fraunhofer project group for new drive systems (NAS), which is part of the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology ICT, has collaborated with Sumitomo Bakelite Co. Ltd., Japan, to develop an experimental engine with lightweight cylinder casing made of fiber-reinforced composite material.
TenCate Advanced Composites, a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced composite materials, provides Northrop Grumman’s Astro Aerospace to utilize TenCate Cetex® thermoplastic composites for the AstroMesh® deployable mesh reflector on the NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive spacecraft. This reflector uses TenCate Cetex® to achieve parabolic shape design, strength, durability, and weight savings.
An interdisciplinary team of researchers from the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen and the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen have developed a new tooth filling material using glass ionomer cement.
AnalySwift, LLC, a leading provider of efficient yet accurate modeling software for composites in the aerospace and energy industries, announced today that Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has selected their VABS program for rigorous modeling of composite wind turbine blades.
