Composites

Composites are increasingly being used in a variety of applications in sectors, such as aerospace, automotive, and power and energy. However, these new materials are susceptible to various kinds of defects during production and also during their service life. Non-destructive (NDT) testing methods are employed to evaluate the properties of the comp...

This study covers the global aviation composites market used to achieve weight reduction in aircraft amid fuel efficiency requirements and operating cost concerns. It examines drivers and restraints for growth, pricing, demand and application trends. Furthermore, it offers an in-depth analysis of advanced fibre properties, prevalent fabrication met...

The markets for polymers and composites in aerospace applications have been on a very high growth path since the early 2000's, with the introduction of game changing aircraft models such as Airbus A380 and Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Recent market conditions, including the high price of aircraft fuel and the need to improve the fuel efficiency of aircra...
