Sireg Geotech in cattedra all’Apericoncrete di maggio di ACI Italy Chapter sull’impatto delle armature in FRP rispetto alla durabilità e sostenibilità delle strutture in calcestruzzo armato.
The company Dr. Günther Kast GmbH & Co. manufactures and markets fibre articles of various kinds for different business sectors such as automotive, composites, construction, etc. In recent years, the use of composite materials in the building sector has been increasing. Kast has developed innovative meshes and fabrics for structural reinforcement systems through a strong collaboration with the Karlsruhe University of Technology (KIT) in Germany.
In 2010 Industrie Polieco-MPB, a solid European group in the sector of polyolefin compounds and high-density polyethylene corrugated pipe systems, decided to proceed with the development of a project for the construction of a manhole cover in composite material. The composite material used for the production of the manhole cover is KinextTM, a composite material reinforced by long fibers duly distributed inside a thermosetting resin matrix.
Scotsman, an electric scooter brand based in Silicon Valley, presented its flagship product: the first electric scooter made entirely of carbon fiber composite. The Scotsman touts a true unibody construction, 3D-printed with single passes of continuous carbon fiber thermoplastic composite. The scooter is produced using the latest thermoplastic materials, making it extremely impact-resistant, yet remarkably lightweight.
A new direct mould tooling technology for aerospace announced by Decision SA, part of the leading European composites consortium, Carboman Group, and a specialist in the development, prototyping and production of large composite structures. This solution provides OEMs and manufactures with short lead times – as short as six to eight weeks. Direct moulds are highly stable for series production both in and outside of the autoclave at temperatures of up to 180˚C.
After more than three years of international research, the ECOXY project finally comes to an end. The European project, involving twelve partners from eight different countries, has achieved its goal by finishing the query and development of new thermoset and sustainable materials, made of a plant origin resin and reinforcements of either linen fiber or biobased PLA.
