Facing the challenging task of developing lightweight, high-strength ceramic materials, an engineer has turned to an unexpected collaborator for design inspiration: the knobby sea star from the ...

Researchers used kirigami, the art of Japanese paper cutting and folding, to develop ultrastrong, lightweight materials that have tunable mechanical properties, like stiffness and flexibility. These ...

Detroit — Johnson Controls Inc. first showed its proprietary Compression Hybrid Molding (CHyM) process for lighter weight auto interior parts using biocomposites in 2013. In 2017, what had been the ...

HOUSTON - (Nov. 16, 2017) - Rice University engineers are using 3-D printers to turn structures that have until now existed primarily in theory into strong, light and durable materials with complex, ...

In this interview, AZoM talks to Lyndon Newman, Lead Engineer for Rail at TRB Lightweight Structures, about the use of TRB's composites in the Rail industry. Could you give us an overview of TRB ...

In this interview, AZoM talks to Richard Holland, Managing Director at TRB Lightweight Structures, about TRB's recent advances in composite manufacturing and potential future avenues for the field.

Compared to metal and polymer-based materials, ceramics can better withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments, but their brittle nature often makes them susceptible to breakage. This ...
