Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...

Researchers at Osaka University produced composites consisting of alumina (AI 2 O 3) ceramics and titanium (Ti), namely AI 2 O 3 /Ti composites. They designed a percolation structure for forming a ...

For years, there has been a growing demand for materials that are lightweight with high mechanical strength. Metal matrix composites (MMCs) were developed in order to fulfill this demand and provide ...

AZoMaterials spoke to Scott Mittl, Vice President of Sales at Insaco®, about how composite materials are defined, how composites are machined by Insaco, and the expected direction of CMC materials in ...

A nanocomposite is a multiphase solid material in which one of the phases has one, two or three dimensions of below 100 nm, or structures with nanoscale repeat distances between the different phases ...

Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) comprise a ceramic matrix reinforced by a refractory fiber, such as silicon carbide (SiC) fiber. CMCs offer low density, high hardness and superior thermal and ...

MBDA and the NCC are challenging the Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) sector to aid the future of sustained high-speed flight. The future of flight is heading towards hypersonic speeds. This means ...

A quarter-century ago, the Department of Energy began a program to support U.S. development of ceramic matrix composites. In 2016 a new aircraft engine became the first widely deployed CMC-containing ...

Strategic materials essential for aerospace and hypersonic systems. This is how the National Composite Centre (NCC) defines ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). The organisation stresses the urgency of ...
