Thermoplastic composites – Innovative processes and methods The main growth drivers for the composites industry are currently the wind energy sector and thermoplastic applications in the transportation sector. The structural changes in the mobility sector often open up opportunities for composites to gain a foothold in new applications. The construction and infrastructure sectors and the …
Focus: Innovative process control, simulation and characterization In this issue, our AVK member institutes once again show which projects they are working on and whichprogress has been made here. We very much hope that you like the selection and that it inspires you, e.g.when it comes to the digitalization of a CFRP production process, the …
Mobility of the future The topic of mobility is a key social and economic issue, as mobility in both private and public transportation is a cornerstone of today’s society. The composites industry can help to offer and create sustainable solutions here. Whether itlightweight construction or components for e-mobility applications: Science, and with it the composites …
Sustainable technology solutions When you mention plastics and sustainability in the same breath, many people find it hard tobelieve. But anyone who knows the plastics industry as a whole knows how sustainable solutions with plastics can be. Fiber-reinforced plastics have nothing to hide here either. It starts, for example, with lightweight construction, continues with durability …
Research fields for practice – Transportation These are challenging times. The coronavirus pandemic hit at the beginning of the year, bringing with it changes that most people would never have imagined.This is reflected in the current market figures for composites production, but there are alsopositive signals. The construction industry is proving to be reasonably crisis-resistant …
