CW Tech Days are virtual events dedicated to the topics impacting the composites industry today. Access past event recordings and register for upcoming Tech Days.

A thermoplastic is a plastic in which the finished molded part may be remelted for remolding. A thermoset plastic is a plastic in which the chemical reaction cannot be reversed, thus allowing the part ...

The low process temperatures and nearly instant cure allow these substrates to be finished without damage to the substrate. The webinar will begin with an overview of UV cured powder coating, ...

Thermosets and thermoset resins are raw, unshaped polymer materials that have been irreversibly cured. They are generally stronger than thermoplastics due to polymer cross-linking and have a higher ...

Hybrid construction methods that combine thermoset and thermoplastic materials offer a fascinating variety of properties and advantages. Thermoset materials such as epoxy resins or polyester resins ...

The thermoset and thermoplastic prepreg tape line is designed to study unique resin and fiber combinations and specific manufacturing conditions. In addition, it is an important capability to provide ...

After several decades of aerospace composite adoption, the industry has mostly exhausted the low-hanging fruit "metal to ...

The Department of Plastics Engineering provides instruction about and performs research on thermoplastic and thermoset elastomers. Since thermoset elastomers, including thermoset rubber, require ...

Thermoplastics and thermosets are two types of plastics that both consist of long chains of molecules called polymers but behave differently when heated. Thermoplastics can be heated to high ...

DAVID DUVALL, Chief Executive Officer at Core Molding Technologies CMT, reported an insider sell on September 16, according to a new SEC filing.

Recyclable carbon wheels have been around for a few years. However, until HUNT’s H-Cyclo, they differed in construction and physical properties relative to traditional carbon bicycle wheels ...
