A free educational forum scheduled for March 2026 in Athlone will provide Irish polymer processors with insights into data-driven manufacturing. Industry experts from Sumitomo (SHI) Demag, Summit ...

UD tapes must be fully impregnated since there is no carrier to support the material in the transverse direction such as the paper used with thermoset prepregs. Most UD tapes are supplied in ...

Polymers are viscoelastic fluids that are either elastic or viscous, depending on how fast they flow or deformation in the process. The viscoelastic phenomenon, as shown in Figure 1, can be easily ...
