Composite material

At the JEC World trade fair in Paris, the Eurecat technology centre has showcased innovations for sustainable manufacture of lightweight composite structures for the energy transition in sectors such as aeronutics, the automotive industry and sports. A range of manufacturing technologies have been harnessed to develop them including RTM (Resin Transfer Moulding), infusion, thermocompression [...]

This week at JEC World, the preeminent composites event taking place in Paris, the Eurecat technology centre is showcasing an aircraft window which includes LED lights embedded during the manufacturing process using compositronics, a technology which makes it possible to develop functional lightweight structural components with composite materials. “The lightness of composites and printed electronics [...]

Starting today, the Eurecat technology centre is exhibiting at JEC World, the leading event in the composite field, held in Paris, where it will present its trials in manufacturing with Compositrònica for the development of functional composite materials by combining various manufacturing procedures, flexible printed electronics and the insertion of components, which bring new benefits in [...]

The composites industry is thriving on the back of rising demand in high-tech markets such as aerospace and other segments including sporting goods and building engineering. Its surge is also expected to be driven by demand for lightweight, fuel-efficient vehicles and the emerging shift towards electric cars. This is the prediction made at the JEC Composites Connect virtual [...]

The Eurecat technology centre (a member of Tecnio) and the companies TRC (Thermal Recycling Composites) and MENZOLIT have taken home the prize for “Best Example of Successful Collaboration in the Circular Economy” at this year’s ChemPlast Awards. The accolade was given in recognition of their work in recycling carbon fibres from discarded composites and using [...]
