Toray Advanced Composites announces launch of high-performance Toray Cetex® PESU thermoplastic composite material

Toray Advanced Composites, a leading innovator in advanced material technology, today announces the launch of Toray Cetex® TC1130 PESU thermoplastic composite material. This high-performance thermoplastic composite material is specifically engineered to address the growing need for lightweight and environmentally sustainable materials in aircraft interior applications, offering significant benefits to the aerospace industry.


Suited for monolithic and thermoplastic-based sandwich panel constructions, Toray Cetex® TC1130 PESU (PolyEtherSulphone) continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite enables the creation of mono-material sandwich structures when combined with core materials of the same chemistry. Compared to materials currently used, this not only achieves additional weight savings and cost-effective post-processing, but also ensures fully recyclable homogeneous sandwich structures. Additionally, Toray Cetex® TC1130 offers excellent fire, smoke, and toxicity (FST) performance, outstanding impact resistance, and toughness, which are essential for demanding interior applications.


“We are excited to share our latest product development with the world,” states Marc Huisman, Director Research and Development, Toray Advanced Composites Europe. “As a leading material supplier, we understand the challenges faced by the aerospace industry to achieve full circularity. We’re proud to continue our long legacy of material technology innovation by bringing this latest generation of sustainable material solutions to market.”

Toray Advanced Composites’ global technical and commercial teams are ready to support immediate demand for Toray Cetex® TC1130.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share:PLA BOTTLE

-
Image
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

Bibby Marine Orders First Battery and Methanol Powered eCSOV

  A shipbuilding contract has been completed for what is being called the “world’s first truly zero-emission, electric Commission Service Operation Vessel,” which is being built as part of UK sponsored demonstration project. The ship is expected to enter service in the UK in 2026 using a combination of a powerful battery system along with dual-fuel methanol engines. A coalition of leading maritime companies led by Bibby Marine proposed the project as part of the UK’s Zero Emission Vessels and Infrastructure (ZEVI) project staged by the UK Department of Transportation. A total of £80 million was awarded to 10 projects in the 2022 round with the Bibby effort being   awarded   $25 million. They estimated the cost of the project for the vessel at $37.5 million total. Bibby Marine reports that it completed a tender process and has selected Gondan to build the vessel. The Asturias shipyard in Spain won out of a variety of yards in the UK and internationally. Bibby cites the timeline, budget,
