An international research group has engineered a novel high-strength flexible device by combining piezoelectric composites with unidirectional carbon fiber. The new device transforms kinetic energy ...

A large market for composite structural components may be opening up within a decade, and recycled carbon fiber may be the key. At least, this seems to be the promise proffered by the recent ...

The company presents for the first time long-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (LFRTs) and their application, using the example of a front end. UD tapes are composite materials based on unidirectional ...

Driven by a faster-than-expected pace of technological development, carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) will be poised to gain widespread adoption for automotive lightweighting by 2025, according ...
