While wearing a crisply ironed, wrinkle-free shirt makes a good impression, researchers at UBC's Okanagan campus are working to solve the issue of wrinkling when it comes to making textile composites.

One-dimensional flexible supercapacitor yarns are of considerable interest for future wearable electronics. The bottleneck in this field is how to develop devices of high energy and power density, by ...

The Global Textile Composites Market was valued at approximately USD 7.91 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 6.9% from 2024 to 2032. Textile ...

Under an MOU with Lockheed Martin, Coexpair will use a phased approach to drive innovation for the F-35 program in Belgium via representative composite parts production.

Redesigned hardware and optimized CAM software enable precise, defect-free, thin-ply laminates in closed/complex geometries for even lighter, more efficient pressure vessels and other high-performance ...

Mechanical behaviors of a new class of composites made up of a 3D-textile core enclosed by two rubber layers, either reinforced or unreinforced, are investigated in this study to address the need for ...

(Nanowerk News) Engineers at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory and the University of Maryland have developed a technique that causes a composite material to become stiffer and stronger on-demand when ...

Once confined to the aerospace and automotive industries, composite materials have taken on an increasingly central role in contemporary architecture. By combining two or more components, such as ...
