Dental composite materials, widely utilised for restorative treatments, consist primarily of a polymer resin matrix reinforced with inorganic fillers. The mechanical properties – including flexural ...

Using these materials, they created and combined specific patterns called ring and disk patterns, which govern the final properties of composite materials. To do this, they used a precise spray system ...

In my January 2019 column, I discussed methods to determine whether properties obtained from mechanical testing of composites are correct — or even reasonable. One of the methods focused on comparing ...

Here, Klaus Ritter, Head of the Centre of Excellence for Composites at Huntsman Advanced Materials, looks at how the company is helping to optimise the latest out-of-autoclave manufacturing techniques ...

This video takes a look at composite materials, materials that are made up from two or more distinct materials. Composites are engineered to obtain materials with very useful material properties, ...

Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...

As the composite industry shifts toward a circular economy, manufacturers face a dual challenge: integrating nontraditional ...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has recognized Mechanical Engineering Asst. Prof. Marianna Maiaru with the agency’s most prestigious faculty early-career development award, for research that ...

To endure not only the extremes of space travel and planetary entry, but to then to successfully perform their critical missions, the Mars 2020 spacecraft and its vehicles depend on proven ...
