CIC Expands Its Capabilities

In support of its industry and research partners the Composites Innovation Centre (CIC) has been steadily expanding its capabilities. Several key equipment acquisitions have been made recently that include a filament winding machine, a modulated differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) and a small numerically controlled (NC) machining centre.

Do Natural Fibres in Composite Parts Make Economic Sense?

It has always been considered that if natural fibres were going to be used as reinforcements in composite parts, it would lead to additional revenues for the farm community and to the development of new, profitable businesses processing these fibres. Over several years our European counterparts have been exploiting the use of biofibres in thermoplastic parts for automotive applications to meet weight, impact and recyclability restrictions; however, what
