There’s a lot of research that can be done in half a century, and the University of Delaware’s Tsu-Wei Chou has wasted no time doing just that. During his 53-year career, which makes him the ...

Materials engineering involves the development, production, modification, and application of engineering materials to meet the specific needs of society. It is based on an understanding of the ...

Composite materials, notably those reinforced with carbon or glass fibres, are increasingly utilised in engineering applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and durability. However, ...

This has caused exponential growth in the consumption of these materials where it is estimated that by the year 2030 only in the EU we should be able to recycle more than one million tons of composite ...

The study of bioinspired composite materials has rapidly evolved into an interdisciplinary field that bridges biology, materials science and engineering. Drawing inspiration from natural systems—such ...

The Nanomaterials Institute specializes in the study of MXene processing and polymer compositing, and the fundamental mechanical properties of MXenes. Researchers in the DNI are interested in studying ...

The modern aerospace sector's rapid expansion has led to improvements in aircraft materials. Lowering expenses, lightweighting, and extending the operational life of the components in aircraft ...

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 ...

The European Rebar Council (ERC) has announced it had entered into a partnership with ASDEA, a company publishing numerical ...

Dr. Amir Asadi, an assistant professor in the Department of Engineering Technology and Industrial Distribution at Texas A&M University, is making groundbreaking strides in the field of composite ...

Wind turbine blades are being buried at their end of life (EOL), a practice soon to be prohibited by landfill bans taking effect across Europe in 2025. With a forecast of 43 million tons to be ...
