Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation hereby announces that it has added the Xlink TechTM-HT (#375) and Xlink TechTM-HS (#372) series to its  Xlink TechTM-carbon fiber prepreg portfolio. The Company has commenced sample work for these new products.



Because it is lightweight yet offers high strength and stiffness, carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is used in a broad spectrum of applications, from sports and leisure to mobility and industry.

In terms of physical properties, damage to CFRP often originates not in the carbon fiber itself, but in the resin that supports the carbon fibers or at the interface between the resin and the fibers. Therefore, the resin used for CFRP is required to have not only high strength and heat resistance, but also excellent impact resistance. In particular, CFRP made with high-modulus carbon fiber is susceptible to impact damage despite its high stiffness, and achieving both stiffness and durability has long been a challenge.


Accordingly, the Company leveraged its proprietary resin design technology to maximize the performance of high-modulus carbon fiber and successfully developed the Xlink TechTM-HT (#375) and Xlink TechTM-HS (#372) series, which significantly improve the impact resistance and damage tolerance of CFRP made with high-modulus carbon fiber. 


The combination of high stiffness and excellent durability is expected to provide greater design flexibility for CFRP components and contribute to their enhanced performance across diverse sectors, from sports and leisure to mobility and industry.

 

Going forward, the Company will continue to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by providing high-value-added CFRP.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share “Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding”, Simone Barbera and Mattia De Santis, Caracol V2 catamaran was printed in Italy at Caracol’s production center and headquarter in Barlassina, near Milan, with a Heron AM 400, Caracol’s robotic Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) platform. The lattest was specifically configured with a 7-axis robotic arm mounted on a rail, enabling the printing of parts up to 10 meters in length. How did the collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol come about? Simone Barbera : The collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol originated from a shared vision to revolutionize boat manufacturing through sustainable innovation. V2 Group, a Spanish-company specialized in nautical design and engineering, is seeking to develop electric vessels manufactured sustainably. On the other hand, Caracol, leader in robotic advanced manufacturing technology, had had years of experience working with Large Format Additive Ma...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : A BUG IN INJECTION MOLDING

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share A bug in injection molding – an injection-molded part in a bug? Neither! Nature and injection molding have reached similar results. Nature created the first micro-gear long before any human engineering existed. One such example is the Issus coleoptratus (shown in the picture). Furthermore, only now are we reaching the point where injection-molded polymer microgears can approach this level of performance. Looking at the images, which one do you think is the natural gear, and which one is the molded version? It is not that easy to tell, right? Their appearance and operating principles are surprisingly similar. Chitin, a natural linear polymer, forms what nature essentially "molds” into shape. In engineering, we rely on advanced technical polymers to produce similar geometry through actual injection molding. They are not the same material, yet they solve the same issue: Stiffness, dimensional stability, and reliable function at a scale where tolerances...

Lummus Technology announced Vioneo has selected its Novolen®

Image
polypropylene (PP) technology for a new grassroots plant in #Antwerp , Belgium. The plant will be part of Vioneo’s complex that, once complete, will be the world’s first industrial scale fossilfree plastics production complex. The complex, based on green methanol as feedstock, will also be highly electrified using renewableelectricity and use renewable hydrogen as key components to its operations. The first-of-its-kind plant will have a capacity of 200 kta and will use 100pc segregated green #propylene and #ethylene as feedstock to produce a wide range of #PP grades. With high-purity feedstock and proven technology, PP will serve as a direct drop-in replacement for fossil-based alternatives. The plastics produced will be fully traceable and #CO2negative , allowing customers to reduce their #Scope3 #emissions . Earlier this year, Vioneo and Honeywell announced that Honeywell’s advanced (methanol-to-olefin MTO) technology will be used by Vioneo to produce greenolefins for the comple...
