Natural fibre composites (NFC) are emerging as eco-friendly alternatives in industries like automotive, construction, and marine. They offer benefits such as low cost, biodegradability, and weight reduction, but challenges like moisture absorption and cost variability persist. NFCs are gaining traction in non-structural and semi-structural applications.
Glass fibres stand as a remarkably versatile class of materials. Initiatives aimed at enhancing energy efficiency, minimising emissions, boosting recycling efforts, and encouraging responsible disposal practices are crucial for optimising the sustainability of glass fibre as a material choice. It is set to remain an indispensable reinforcement material.
Nonwoven fabrics have unique properties and performance. The nonwoven products market is currently experiencing steady growth, but it must adapt to ongoing changes in the global economy, the availability of raw materials, and the evolving preferences of consumers. So, extensive research is needed on the economic factors associated with nonwoven production.
Concrete has high compressive strength, stiffness, low thermal and electrical conductivity, but it lacks in tensile, flexural strength as well as structure formed is brittle and not tough.
Over the last decade, composites of polymers reinforced with natural fibres have received ever increasing attention, both from the academic world and from various industries.
The current mutation from metal to composites has given rise to important challenges for the aerospace and railway industries.
The future of textiles is very unpredictable due to day by day innovations in the various fields of textiles such as composite textiles and one such example is Three Dimensional Fabrics such as Multi-Layer, Orthogonal, Domed, Nodal, Spacer Fabrics, etc.
A solar panel is a device that uses energy from the sun and converts it into other forms of energy that humans consume for a variety of purposes.
A few months ago, senior executives of Italian luxury brand Salvatore Ferragamo met officials at the Delhi international airport and came away impressed by the swanky T3 terminal.
Awnings are widely used in commercial and residential buildings for decoration, protection or visibility.
