With the skeleton of the airfoil complete, the build then moves on to laminating the foam core with carbon fiber. The epoxy itself is West Systems Pro-Set laminating epoxy, although we suspect the ...

By purchasing carbon fiber filament and epoxy resin and using this machine, you can create structural carbon fiber tubes for about 80% less than they would cost commercially. The system comes with ...

USC researchers have developed a new process to upcycle the composite materials appearing in automobile panels and light rail ...

Delivery of the single-spindle robotic setup with an ATP head will advance the R&D organization’s work in CUBIC, GENEX and ...

The increasing popularity of renewable energy is driving the global demand for carbon molds, particularly in the wind energy ...

Members have sought to resolve EOL thermoset challenges through development, demonstration of controlled separation and ...

We were ushered through several doors into loud industrial spaces busy with people cutting raw material, laying up carbon fiber sheets by hand and doing ... material for building racing bicycles than ...

Researchers at USC have created a method to recycle carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) used in automobiles, preserving ...

The catalyst worked on all sorts of composites: a chunk of carbon fiber-epoxy composite that a student picked up from the garbage, a commercial glass fiber–based laminate, and a piece of a ...

While most wings have a structural core or ribbing, the ACR's hollow wing is comprised of just four layers of epoxy/carbon fiber weave with an outer UV-resistant clearcoat. The wing is amazingly ...

After baking the dry carbon fiber engine cover, three coats of epoxy resin were applied to harden it, allowing time to dry between each coat. Then 12 more hours of oven baking followed to cure the ...

From left, Dexter Nelson, Vipin Kumar, Gary Vance, Josh Crabtree and Subhabrata Saha were part of a team that won an ACE award for innovation in green composites design for their fully-recyclable ...
