Whilst many have been discussing and championing the benefits of thermoplastic composites (TPCs) as the next breakthrough, high-volume, lightweighting technology for more than a decade, their market ...

Starting with billions of molecules of monomer in a reactor, heat and pressure are applied in the presence of catalysts, causing one of the monomer double bonds to rearrange into two "half-bonds," one ...

For devices that are transparent to x-rays, thermoplastic and carbon-fiber composites provide properties that are competitive with traditional metals. Barry Chadwick and Chris Toto New materials are ...
