To assess durability, the team built an automated system that repeatedly applied tensile force to a composite with a ...

Researchers have created a self-healing composite that is tougher than materials currently used in aircraft wings, turbine blades and other applications—and can repair itself more than 1,000 times.

This schematic shows an engineered material with composite layers. Layers of carbon fibers (the long silver tubes) have microscopic forests of carbon nanotubes between them (the array of tiny brown ...

Researchers created a fiber-reinforced composite that resisted delamination and repeatedly healed itself using heat-activated ...

The newest Airbus and Boeing passenger jets flying today are made primarily from advanced composite materials such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic — extremely light, durable materials that reduce ...

Researchers have created a self-healing composite that is tougher than materials currently used in aircraft wings, turbine ...

The StrengthBond Offshore project performed more than 250 specimen tests and 115 numerical simulations of laminated/bonded composite patches for the repair of corrosion in steel ships and offshore oil ...
