Non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of polymer matrix composites studies a range of NDE techniques and using these techniques in a range of application areas. Part one offers an overview of a range of ...

Composites are made from two or more constituent materials, each with different properties. When combined, they create a material with properties greater than the sum of its parts. Examples include ...

Polymer and plastic composites are plastics which are strengthened with fibers, fillers, particulates, powders and other matrix reinforcements to provide improved strength and/or stiffness. Examples ...

Our highly versatile, ISO 9001:2015 registered Composites Manufacturing and Testing laboratory contains a wide array of equipment for processing and evaluating adhesives, primer, fiber-reinforced ...

There are three basic types of composites and composite materials: polymer matrix composites (PMC) ceramic matrix composites (CMC) metal matrix composites (MMC) Most industrial composites use a resin ...

There are many different types of composite materials, but the most common type consists of continuous fibers embedded in a ...

A team at the University of Southern California developed a new method to recycle carbon fiber composites into reusable materials including potential medical applications.
