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 ...

The standard square beams are produced from graphite and PAN carbon fibres using CompoTech’s innovative automated, robot assisted filament placement technique, which places continuous fibres axially ...

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 ...
