In this document, EuCIA provides an overview of existing and developing composite recycling technologies. The publication also discusses the technology readiness levels (TRLs) of these technologies, ...

Composite and hybrid materials constitute a rapidly advancing field in materials science, wherein two or more distinct constituents are combined to produce synergistic properties unavailable in the ...

Among the first decisions to be made when initiating a composites testing program is the selection of test methods to follow. Unless performing highly customized testing, it’s usually not difficult to ...

When first introduced to mechanical testing of composite materials, one can be confused, even overwhelmed, by the number of available test standards. One reason for this large variety of tests is the ...

Europe will generate 683,000 tons of composite waste in 2025. The global recycling capacity is currently under 100,000 tons. Until we can find better ways to repurpose these materials, over half a ...

It is important to choose the right kind of composite core material that works as intended and offers the properties specified for users’ applications. However, there are many practical material ...

Computational homogenization has emerged as an indispensable tool for bridging the gap between the microscale heterogeneity of composite materials and their macroscopic behaviour. By employing ...

Meet Fairmat, a new French startup that wants to improve the recycling process for sophisticated composite materials. The company wants to produce new kinds of materials from material waste and sell ...
