Additive manufacturing (AM) is emerging as a popular method in the research and development of electronics that use conductive polymers.

Recycled plastic composites are transforming railroad ties, offering higher strength, longer life, and reduced train wear compared to wood or concrete.

Polymer science enables modular, durable, and precise Battery-as-a-Service systems, advancing efficiency and scalability in energy solutions.

Advances in high-performance polymers are enabling subway systems to meet demands for fire safety, structural efficiency, and lifecycle durability.

Electric vehicle sales reached 17.6 million units in 2024, marking rapid growth and transforming the global automotive landscape.

In a recent study published in Polymer Composites, researchers led by Sütcüler et al. unveiled a lab-scale process to manufacture continuous carbon fiber (CCF) filaments using recycled PETG (rPETG).

The Polymer Composites (PC) Journal by SPE has selected “Evaluation of Fatigue Characteristics of 3D-Printed Composites Reinforced with Carbon Fiber Using Design of Experiments” as its Editor’s Choice article for December 2024.

Hybrid polymer composites with new blends of unsaturated polyesters and hybrid epoxy resins could enhance performance in various industries, including aerospace and automotive.

Conventionally, laminate designs have adhered to standard ply orientations such as 0, 90, and ±45°, often constrained by symmetry requirements. However, a paradigm shift has emerged with the introduction of the double-double laminates concept, offering a more efficient and tailored approach to composite design.

The intricate mechanical properties of three-dimensional (3D) braided composites hold both mystery and promise. Particularly, understanding the nuanced multi-scale damage mechanisms in 3D four-directional (3D4d) braided composite shafts has been a challenge—until now.
