University of Toronto researchers have designed a new composite material that is both very light and extremely strong—even at ...

Boston Materials (Billerica, Mass., U.S.) was formed in 2016 by Anvesh Gurijala, Michael Segal and Dr. Randall Erb as a spin-out from Northeastern University (Boston, Mass., U.S.) to commercialize a ...

It is important to choose the right kind of composite core material that works as intended and offers the properties specified for users’ applications. However, there are many practical material ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Recent years have witnessed fast-growing interest in quantum strongly correlated materials that show unusual electronic, optical, and magnetic properties, including ...

Can the properties of composite materials be predicted? Scientists have mastered this feat and thus can help achieve research objectives faster. This leads, for instance, to better recycling ...

A new composite can increase the electrical current capacity of copper wires. The material can be scaled for use in ultra-efficient, power-dense electric vehicle traction motors. Scientists ...

Alberto Corigliano, Politecnico di Milano, explores the development of sentient materials and structures through the IMMENSE ...

Damage mechanics of composite materials is concerned with the various damage mechanisms, their evolution under thermomechanical loading, and their effect on the elastic, failure, and fatigue behavior ...

A new study combining fire safety, hygiene, and sustainability has led to the development of a multifunctional polyurethane ...
