In this work, multilayer co-extrusion is used to produce polymer films having up to several thousand alternating layers. The number of individual layers in the films is controlled by the number of ...

Materials Sciences Corp. (MSC, Horsham, PA, US) was established in 1970 by a group of scientists who helped develop the constituent relations that describe the behavior of composites. Performing ...

The performance of the final product depends heavily on the degree of cure - making it critical to ensure that the reaction goes to completion for the highest quality and reliability. Achieving this ...

Composite and hybrid materials constitute a rapidly advancing field in materials science, wherein two or more distinct constituents are combined to produce synergistic properties unavailable in the ...

JEC Composites Magazine: Dr Passaro, can you tell us more about your role in CETMA? I started working at CETMA as a researcher in thermoplastic-matrix composites over 20 years ago. In 2015, I became ...

Composite materials are engineered by fusing different materials, typically consisting of a matrix (a polymer, metal, or ceramic) and a reinforcement (such as fibers, particles, or flakes) that ...
