Tokyo — Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. has long reserved costly carbon-fiber-reinforced components to such applications as the hood and roof of its low-volume, high-performance GT-R sports car. But thanks to a ...

Once upon a time, glass-mat thermoplastic (GMT) composites were nearly the only option for engineers searching for increased stiffness, strength, and toughness in a polymeric material with a ...

Surface Generation, a company in Rutland, the United Kingdom, that provides carbon fiber processing technologies, has unveiled a compression molding technology for high-volume automotive and consumer ...

The new composites are designed as alternatives to thermoset sheet molding compounds (SMCs). Offering similar mechanical performance, they are much more ductile and, as thermoplastic systems, much ...
