 📢Saturday Spotlight!📢 Recycled carbon fiber used in the Fisker 22” wheel for the electric Ocean SUV!


@Fisker Inc's ambitious plans to relaunch itself as an electric-vehicle manufacturer are nearing a crucial inflection point as the 2023 Ocean SUV is unveiled at the 2021 Los Angeles auto show. Led by the company's namesake and CEO, @Henrik Fisker, the revived brand is focusing on sustainability and environmental responsibility with the Ocean, which utilizes reclaimed materials such as recycled plastic bottles to line the interior of the luxury SUV. 



Designed from start to finish by Henrik and his world-class team, the Fisker Ocean zero-emissions SUV is ready to disrupt the automotive world through its beautiful craftsmanship, ingenious engineering, innovation, affordability, and sustainability. Are you ready for your all-electric future? 


Here at Managing Composites, we certainly are! However, our all-electric future NEEDS some carbon!


  Luckily for us, Frisker is not going to leave us hanging: At launch, 5000 special-edition Ocean One models will be available, featuring unique 22-inch aerodynamic wheels that are made from recycled carbon fiber and aluminum. 😍


What do you think about this design? 🤪

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share Ever wondered how we can reduce plastic pollution in India? The Mysuru-based Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL), affiliated with the DRDO, has launched an eco-friendly remedy with the introduction of biodegradable water bottles. Crafted from sustainable Polylactic acid (PLA) material, these bottles not only combat plastic waste but also contribute to reducing the overall carbon footprint. The best thing about this bottle is its all-encompassing sustainability approach – the bottle, cap, and label are all compostable. This innovation, derived from 100% bio-based and renewable sources, sets us on a path towards environmental conservation and fosters a greener and more sustainable future.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share:High and low shear rate changes in Rheology

-

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share If a relatively high Mw grade flows from thin to thick, as shown in the picture, and if the time needed to fill the thick section is way shorter than the average polymer relaxation time, the polymer will not be able to reach its higher viscosity (corresponding to higher thickness/lower shear-rate). I am assuming here the polymer reached equilibrium low viscosity in the thin section, say for instance because it is much longer. Any pressure prediction not accounting for transient rheology would then overpredict the pressure to fill.Of course the diverging flow will further complicate the situation and mess with the molecular orientation created in the thin section, but to what extent ? Since this is more of a reasonable "conjecture", don't take this for granted, and discuss or share your opinion in the comments. There are hundreds of Rheology papers on the "4:1 contraction flow". Not sure I have ever seen any on the..."1:4 expansio
