“In state-of-the-art nonlinear composite microstructure modeling/design, computational costs have been identified as one of the major limiting factors, preventing the understanding of the ...

Diamond-Silicon Carbide (SiC) composite materials represent a synergistic combination of two outstanding constituents: diamond, renowned for its exceptional thermal conductivity and mechanical ...

In an approach they call 'nanostitching,' engineers used carbon nanotubes to prevent cracking in multilayered composites. The advance could lead to next-generation airplanes and spacecraft. To save on ...

NEW ORLEANS, March 18, 2024 — Buildings and production of the materials used in their construction emit a lot of carbon dioxide (CO 2), a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming and ...

Researchers have created a self-healing composite that is tougher than materials currently used in aircraft wings, turbine blades and other applications—and can repair itself more than 1,000 times.

The performance of the final product depends heavily on the degree of cure - making it critical to ensure that the reaction goes to completion for the highest quality and reliability. Achieving this ...
