DOI: 10.1007/s11666-026-02232-3 To accomplish this, the developers at Rowan used polymer cold spray to restore the strength of glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites following impact damage. While ...

Composite adhesives like epoxy resins are excellent tools for joining and filling materials including wood, metal, and concrete. But there's one problem: once a composite sets, it's there forever. Now ...

In a win for chemistry, inventors have designed a closed-loop path for synthesizing an exceptionally tough carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer and later recovering all of its starting materials. In a win ...

Clermont-Ferrand, July 1st, 2026 COMPAGNIE GÉNÉRALE DES ÉTABLISSEMENTS MICHELIN Michelin completes the acquisition of Tex Tech Industries and reinforces its Polymer Composite Solutions business ...

3D printing technology is used not only to build things as large as houses, but also as small as snowflakes. A new material allows the latter to be much stronger than ever before, and to be printed ...

An extruded wood polymer composite (WPC) green body that has then been carbonized into a porous preform and then processed via silicon melt infiltration into a high-performance silicon carbide (SiC) ...

Wind turbine blades are being buried at their end of life (EOL), a practice soon to be prohibited by landfill bans taking effect across Europe in 2025. With a forecast of 43 million tons to be ...

Last January, the French manufacturer signed agreements to acquire the North American companies Cooley and Tex Tech. The ...
