Jon Nash of Applied Market Information (AMI) has cited new growth in the European markets for wood-plastic composites (WPC) including an increase in sales from Deceuninck, a new plant being built by UPM Kymmene and an an...
The Instituto Madrileño de Estudios Avanzados en Nanociencia (IMDEA Nanoscience) collaborates together with the University of Hamburg in the development of composite materials based on semiconductor nanoparticles an...
That could mean titanium joints, which can resist corrosion for the lifetime of a patient, could be affordable enough to replace stainless steel joints, which are commonly used today but can corrode after five years. And that could save patients the additional surgeries required to replace failing artificial joints.
The first is a £6 million investment in the Corus Panels and Profiles Shotton Panel Line No 1. The second project is a joint collaboration between Corus and Australian company Dyesol.
Corus has once again demon...
The BioCompass project
will address the problem faced by the construction industry in that there is
limited understanding of the environmental performance of these relatively new
materials, making like for like comparisons difficult. The work is being undertaken
under a UK LINK collaborative research project funded through the DEFRA renewable
materials programme.
A team of scientists at Arkansas Nanotechnology Center at UALR (the University of Arkansas at Little Rock) has developed what promises to be a non-invasive method of eradicating cancer cells while reducing the life-threa...
The teeth and bones of mammals, the protective shells of mollusks, and the needle-sharp spines of sea urchins and other marine creatures are made-from-scratch wonders of nature.
Used to crush food, for structural supp...
The aerospace industry is one example of the increased use of composites,
whilst the advantages of such are clear it is of critical importance to be aware
of any potential dangers. Delamination behaviour of composites from Woodhead
Publishing comprehensively examines this important area of concern, focusing
on the main mode of failure: delamination. This vital information will heighten
awareness of failure and open discussion on technologies that can further enhance
performance.
Whilst the ageing of humans has been a popular point of discussion for many
years we are now looking at the world around us to assess the damage that ageing
can cause. Ageing of composites from Woodhead
Publishing addresses many of the uncertainties about the long-term performance
of composites, an important issue due to the increased use of composites in
structural applications.
Bio-degradable materials are on the increase as a direct response to heightened
awareness of environmental issues. Plant-based natural fiber reinforced polymer
composites are an illustration of this, replacing conventional materials used
in applications such as automobiles. Tribology of natural fiber polymer composites
from Woodhead Publishing
examines the availability and processing of natural fiber polymer composites
and their structural, mechanical and tribological properties.
