Carbon fiber/epoxy SMC replaced magnesium for structural/inner panels that were bonded to incumbent aluminum outer panels. Since new tooling had to be created to produce the composite panel, the part ...

When we started renovating our kitchen, we quickly realized we didn’t want something off the shelf. As car enthusiasts, our ...

Research shows that hot acetic acid cleaves all key bonds within epoxy-amine resins and stabilizes polymer chemical ...

Deconstructing epoxy resins with hot acetic acid has the potential to provide a scalable and affordable solution for recycling a material used in a range of high-value consumer products, according to ...

Carbon-fiber epoxy honeycombs mimic the material performance of balsa wood Harvard engineers use new resin inks and 3D printing to construct lightweight cellular composites ...

Scientists Reclaim Carbon Fiber From Unrecyclable Epoxy Resins For the first time, a team of researchers has developed a method to reclaim materials from a range of epoxy products. ... and their team ...

And, the most commonly used polymer (epoxy resin) requires 24 to 50 hours to solidify after it's infused into the carbon fiber, further increasing costs.In contrast, the density of steel is about ...

This epoxy is spread out on a table, the carbon fiber laid over it, and a second layer of carbon fiber (check ‘yo biases!) laid over that. This is wrapped around the foam core, then cured with ...
