As opposed to conventional metal alloys, metal matrix composites (MMCs) possess inimitable physical, thermal, electrical, chemical, and mechanical properties that make them most suitable in today’s ...
A research team led by Chang Keke from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE), Chinese Academy ...
According to Jacob Nuechterlein, co-founder and solutions developer for Elementum 3D, the aluminum alloy used in the company’s newly invented metal matrix composite (MMC) is not 3D-printable on its ...
Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...
University of Toronto researchers have designed a new composite material that is both very light and extremely strong – even at temperatures up to 500 Celsius. The material, which is described in a ...
Since his postdoctoral days at MIT, Hang Yu, associate professor of materials science and engineering, has been wrestling with the challenge of ...
Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) have emerged as a critical class of materials for demanding high-temperature applications due to their unique combination of properties, including: However, ...
Components for the aerospace or transportation industry are typical applications for fibre-reinforced thermoplastic polymer composites. These components often require the production of large, complex ...
Arceon (Delft, Netherlands) produces a family of ceramic matrix composites (CMC) called Carbeon which comprise uncoated carbon fiber reinforcement in a carbon-silicon carbide matrix (C/C-SiC) made ...
