Hexcel purchased two more robotic testing systems from Zwick Roell, this time with additional functionality as their markets now demand more extreme environmental testing, and the number of different specimen type and shapes has increased.
Resin Transfer Molded (RTM) composites are increasingly being produced with complex geometries that challenge the ability of engineers to maintain exacting tolerances. Preforms consisting of core materials such as honeycomb, foam and balsa must fill the complex mold uniformly to prevent defects that would otherwise occur during resin infiltration of the preform.
Sensor Products Inc. presents Pressurex, a thin Mylar-based sensor film that maps and measures the amount of interfacial stress exerted on honeycomb cores, composite lay-ups and bonded surfaces within composite structures. By using Pressurex® to see how surface stresses are distributed, an engineer can observe inconsistencies and misregistration in composite parts and thereby greatly reduce the yield defect rate.
A new 25% glass fiber-reinforced polyamide 6 compound provides injection molders with an alternative to halogenated flame retardant (FR) formulations while meeting stringent requirements for flame retardance, it was announced today by Chem Polymer, a unit of Teknor Apex Company.
A short time ago, the new Terblend® N NG-02 EF found one of its first high-volume application at Same Deutz-Fahr Group, the Italian manufacturer of agricultural tractors. The latest glass fiber-reinforced member of the ABS/PA line from BASF has been optimized to provide especially good flowability (EF: excellent flow) and compared to the conventional glass fiber-reinforced product offers almost twice the impact strength. It thus provides ease of processing with mechanical stability.

Conventional means of internal reinforcement for concrete member in buildings involve steel bars. Yet for structures that function in harsh environments like coastal regions, or for structures that support sensitive equipment, such as magnetic resonance imaging units; the use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) is emerging as a valuable option.
With the recent announcement of tougher federal standards for improved vehicle fuel efficiency, weight reduction promises to become even more imperative for the automotive industry. To help automakers and suppliers achieve greater weight-out, Milliken Chemical, a division of Milliken & Company, is introducing Hyperform® HPR-803 high performance reinforcing agent for polyolefins.
Scientists from DuPont have helped The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company by taking DuPont technology for high-strength Kevlar products and applying it to Goodyear tires. Goodyear-produced tires with Kevlar fiber are tar...
