Advanced fiber-reinforced polymer composites offer new options for working on and completing deep wells that have high temperatures and pressures (HT-HP) and produce corrosive fluids, although proper ...

Danish scientists have found a chemical procedure for disassembling the epoxy composite of wind turbine blades while extracting unbroken glass fibers and one of the epoxy resin’s original building ...

Damage mechanics of composite materials is concerned with the various damage mechanisms, their evolution under thermomechanical loading, and their effect on the elastic, failure, and fatigue behavior ...

The characteristics that make composites, especially glass fiber-reinforced and wood/epoxy composites, suitable for wind turbine blades are low density, good mechanical properties, excellent corrosion ...

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Westlake Corporation (NYSE: WLK) announced today that Westlake Epoxy will collaborate with Alpha Recyclage Composites to support them in scaling up the recycling capacity for ...

The widespread use of carbon fibre-reinforced composites (CFRCs) in the automotive, aerospace and energy industries is driven by the need for lightweight, durable materials. However, the limited ...

Because composite material test specimens tend to be relatively thin, buckling prior to the desired failure mode is a concern when specimens are loaded in compression. Known as column buckling, but ...
