In the production of biocomposites, a matrix material (plastic) is processed with fibers as a reinforcing material, whereby at least one component must be obtained from a renewable resource by definition. This results in new sustainable materials that have exceptional mechanical properties and can be used in lightweight construction. Fibers made from flax, hemp or ... Read more

Fiber-reinforced plastics/composites are combinations of different materials. The processes for component production and the areas of application are just as diverse as the possible combinations of raw materials and input materials. The two main areas of application for composites today are the mobility and infrastructure sectors, including the automotive industry. Energy management. With a share ... Read more

Composites are often regarded as the material of the future, especially in the areas of infrastructure/construction and mobility. Some of these materials are already firmly established in a wide range of applications. With a market share of over 95%, glass fiber-reinforced plastics are clearly the dominant material group. Our webinar "Composites Market Compact" analyzes the ... Read more

Different techniques and production processes are suitable for the manufacture of fiber composite components. It is important to select the best possible process for the respective application. In some cases, it will be worthwhile switching from the processing methods used today to others. For such decisions, the basic know-how about the relevant options and advantages ... Read more

In the production of glass fiber-reinforced plastics, a matrix material (plastic) is processed with suitable glass fibers as a reinforcing material. This results in high-strength materials that are used in a wide variety of industrial sectors. The winding process and the pultrusion process allow the glass fiber to be inserted both in directions specifically specified ... Read more

Automated tape laying processes are often used for series applications in the production of high-performance components made of fiber composites. Depending on their technological characteristics, these can be divided into Automated Fiber Placement (AFP), Automated Tape Laying (ATL) and Fiber Patch Placement (FPP) in order to meet the requirements of different industries. The selection of ... Read more

Fiber-reinforced thermoplastics are becoming increasingly important for numerous industrial applications - from the automotive industry to aerospace and construction. Their combination of high strength, low weight and good recyclability makes them a key material for sustainable and efficient lightweight structures. At the same time, thermoplastic matrices open up new production methods, shorter cycle times and ... Read more
