Today's KNOWLEDGE Share: #Foam cores are widely used in composite materials for their lightweight and high-strength properties. The finishing techniques applied to foam cores play a crucial role in enhancing their functionality and overall performance within composite structures. As you can see in this picture, there are many different finishes that can be applied to a foam core: including grooved, perforated, grit, double cut. Grooved Finish: Adding grooves to the surface of foam cores creates additional surface area, which improves the bonding and adhesion between the core and the composite layers. The increased contact area also enhances the mechanical interlocking and overall strength of the composite structure. Grooved finishes are commonly used in applications requiring high bond strength, such as aerospace components and marine vessels. Perforated Finish: Perforating foam cores involves creating a pattern of small holes or perforations on the core surface. This finishing t...

  Join me on Wednesday 5th July for Day 2 of  #CINC -2023 Conference in Ahmedabad to hear my speech on Composites in the Hydrogen Economy that addresses significant challenges in the composites storage systems and the future of the hydrogen economy that is going to enhance our lives on the earth. There are quite a number of presentations from the Peers in the Polymer Composites Industry and attend the sessions on various technologies and interact with leading experts in the field of composites.” You can register here  https://lnkd.in/dVgPskP8 Offering process efficiency solutions for the environmental impact reduction.Looking forward to seeing everyone at the conference. #polymers   #polymerscience   #composites   #plasticsindustry   #hydrogen   #compositematerials   #cinc -2023 #  #future   #hydrogeneconomy    #storagetank   #conference2023   #india   #cgd   #pipeline   #natura...

The world's largest green hydrogen project, which generates hydrogen from solar and wind renewables without emitting carbon dioxide, produced its first batch of "green hydrogen" on Thursday in Ordos, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in north China. According to the World Economic Forum's latest white paper, China is the largest producer and consumer of hydrogen globally, but less than 0.1 percent of the hydrogen it produces comes from renewable energy sources. This new project is anticipated to yield an annual production of 30,000 tonnes of green hydrogen and 240,000 tonnes of green oxygen, resulting in a reduction of approximately 1.43 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year. To put it in perspective, this reduction is equivalent to planting 825,000 trees. China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec), the country's largest hydrogen producer, provided this information. Making full advantage of its bountiful wind and solar resources, Ordos is an...

One of the world's most common artificial sweeteners is set to be declared a possible carcinogen next month by a leading global health body, according to two sources with knowledge of the process, pitting it against the food industry and regulators. Aspartame, used in products from Coca-Cola diet sodas to Mars' Extra chewing gum and some Snapple drinks, will be listed in July as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" for the first time by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the World Health Organization's (WHO) cancer research arm, the sources told Reuters The body, whose members include Mars Wrigley, a Coca-Cola (KO.N) unit and Cargill, said it had "serious concerns with the IARC review, which may mislead consumers". The International Council of Beverages Associations' executive director Kate Loatman said public health authorities should be "deeply concerned" by the "leaked opinion", and also warned it "could ...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share: Carbon Fibre Monocoque We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new made-to-order carbon fibre monocoque chassis, TR01. Designed and built by DASH using decades of composite experience and industry-leading expertise, we manufacture the chassis using a new process that allows us to minimise weight while ensuring exceptional stiffness and strength. From the outset, we intended to develop an extremely versatile chassis that could be used for ICE, BEV and hybrid applications. As such, TR01 is designed to integrate with a variety of powertrain types for both fast road (supercar, hypercar) and motorsport – an accessible blank canvas to create high-performance vehicles. Key details: ●      Stiffness: 35,000Nm/Deg ●      Weight: <50 kilograms ●      Price: start from £30k (MOQ apply). ●      Size: two-seater sports/racing car Using Advanced Man...
