New Model Helps Develop Smart Composite Materials with Wrinkled Microstructures

Many natural composite materials have evolved to wrinkle in response to certain stimuli: The eye of the squid is lined with wavy layers of silvery reflectors that give it a silvery sheen. In the cell walls of many plants, wrinkles allow expansion without strain. Finally, the inner lining of arteries contain wrinkled lamellae that can be indicators of coronary heart disease, and can serve as markers for the condition.

UK Hosts New Event on Quality in Manufacturing FRP Materials

Fibre reinforced polymer composites (FRPs) are increasingly being used for different applications as a substitute for traditional materials due to multiple reason including their long performance life and low maintenance properties. It is therefore important that manufacturers meet the two principles in quality – that the materials are fit for purpose and that they get the production right first time.
