E.ON and Superdielectrics team up to develop a polymer-based battery aiming to cut costs and carbon for millions of UK homes.

Light-cured 3D printing has many applications in manufacturing, but the technique typically relies on highly cross-linked thermoset polymers, which cannot be recycled through melting. Tao Xie ...

The challenge lies in breaking down the cured lightweight material many older blades from the 1990s are made from: glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP). But in their work, published in the ...

On March 26, WindEurope’s (Brussels, Belgium) board of directors elected Henrik Andersen, group president and CEO of Vestas (Aarhus, Denmark), as the association’s new chair for an 18-month term.

Oakley and his colleagues stated, “This represents the first system to reclaim a high value from both the fiber fabric and polymer matrix of a CFRP.” We have been working for years with his ...
