Carbon fibers are usually produced on an industrial scale from polyacrylonitrile (PAN). The stabilization and carbonization of the fibers takes place with long dwell times in high-temperature furnaces ...

Hybrid manufacturing technique. 9T Labs has developed a hybrid manufacturing technique using its Additive Fusion Technology (AFT), positioning continuous fiber preforms in high-stress regions of a ...

Born out of $10 million in research funding from the Department of Defense, Natural Fiber Welding (NFW) has the potential to change the way textiles are made and discarded materials are reused. Dr.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) As electronics become smaller, lighter, and more integrated into clothing, sensors, and mobile systems, the demand for energy storage devices that can operate under flexible, high ...

Before and after: DEECOM recycling process. U.K.-based Longworth originally developed its pressurized steam-based DEECOM process for cleaning polymers from metal. Now, the process has been shown to ...

High strength, dimensional stability and fit accuracy coupled with low weight are the hallmarks of large-format composite components produced using the Long Fiber Injection (LFI) process from ...
