Composites continue to play a huge role in the world of sport. New materials are yielding lighter, stronger, more durable and customized skis, bikes, bobsleds, surfboards, bats, rackets, golf clubs, ...

Blending materials to harness the best attributes of each allows manufacturers to create dynamic products. Precision engineered composite cladding provides the AEC design community with flexibility ...

Solid-state lithium-metal batteries (SSLMBs) are the holy-grail of next-generation energy storage, but their commercialization has been stymied by dendrite growth, fragile interfaces, and the ...

Materials scientists have found that oscillating loads at certain frequencies can lead to several-fold increases in the strength of composites with an interface that is modified by a molecular layer ...

Injection overmolding has been much in the composites industry news lately, but primarily in the realm of creating hybrid composites. Shaped continuous fiber-reinforced prepregs or pre-cured composite ...

The surface charge characteristics of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are manipulated to engineer the Li +-dynamic interface (Li +-DI) in composite polymer electrolytes. Surface charge characteristics of ...
