Il corso di perfezionamento in “Ingegneria dei Materiali Compositi” organizzato dall’Università Politecnica delle Marche giunge alla terza edizione. Il corso, che avrà una durata di 120 ore e conferirà 12 CFU, si propone di fornire le nozioni necessarie per affrontare tutti gli aspetti inerenti il mondo dei compositi, partendo dalle fasi costituenti i compositi fino alla caratterizzazione del componente finito.
University of Tennessee and Luna Innovations joined a partnership to replace a damaged decades-old concrete crossing in Morgan County (Tennessee) considered structurally deficient and outdated. A new high-tech bridge has been planned in north-central Tennessee equipped with a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite material structure.
Bcomp, Swiss sustainable lightweighting specialist, will provide its natural fiber composite solutions for the nine cars Spark Odyssey all-electric SUVs competing in the inaugural season of the Extreme E Championship. This is an FIA-sanctioned international off-road racing series that seeks to highlight the impact of climate change while promoting sustainability and the adoption of electric vehicles.
Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, have created a structural battery that achieves ten times better performance than all previous versions. It is made of carbon fiber which at the same time plays the role of electrode, conductor, and carrier material. The latest research paves the way for essentially no-mass energy storage in vehicles and other technologies.
Roboze presented Roboze Automate that aims to make 3D printing customized with special polymers and composite materials suitable for the typical workflow of automated production. The additive manufacturing solution addresses industry’s historic challenge for standardization and process control for production of repeatable parts.
Ben Drogt appointed Managing Director of the European Federation of the Composite Materials Industry.
In California two innovators – Palari Group and Mighty Buildings – are working together to build a community of 3D printed zero-net energy homes with a 100% polymer composite panel. The panel is 3D printed and it is complete with structure, insulation, MEP integration, air/moisture/fire barrier & interior/exterior finishes.
As city populations increase and our consumer habits evolve, delivery lifestyle is also growing. The Arrival Van has been created to meet people’s needs born from this new lifestyle. Arrival looks to change the future of commercial vans with its new fully electric Van. It provides an elegant, efficient and sustainable solution thanks to its lightweight composite body panels and aluminum frame.
Mikrosam has completed the installation of its latest custom-made prepreg tape slitting and tow-rewinding machine at the National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) at Wichita State University.
