Researchers have developed a chemical process that can disassemble the epoxy composite of wind turbine blades and simultaneously extract intact glass fibers as well as one of the epoxy resin's ...

In this instance the resins combine to give tooling with temperature resistance in the range of 130°C. In addition to the Biresin S8 polishable epoxy resin gelcoat and the Biresin CR132 and Biresin ...

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 ...

Japan’s DIC has developed a masterbatch called Epiclon NCM consisting of 10 wt% cellulose nanofiber (CNF) dispersed in an epoxy carrier. Addition of the masterbatch to epoxy resin reportedly improves ...

Composite leaf springs are not new to the automotive industry. In fact, the leaf spring itself dates back to the horse-drawn carriage. By design, leaf springs absorb vertical vibrations caused by ...

Rassini has developed and manufactures the hybrid rear suspension, which consists of a parabolic main steel leaf supported by a composite helper, at its Piedras Negras (Coahuila Mexico) location. With ...

Throughout human history, many conflicts have resulted in battles and wars. Body armor has been of central importance in order to make combatants as safe as possible against a variety of weapons.
