In a proper thermoplastic application, the line is straight with a sharp edge and correct color, thickness, bonding and retroreflectivity. But thermoplastic pavement markings don't always go down ...

Aircraft manufacturers have been benefiting from thermoplastic composites in the form of a tough, durable structural material for more than 15 years and aerospace design allowable databases are ...

Thermoplastic has been used for pavement striping since the 1950s and remains popular due to its durability and reflective characteristics. The product is more durable than paint because it actually ...

It is possible to produce thermoplastic advanced composite laminates with integral glass surface layers for metallic screens and/or galvanic protection to enable high surface conductivity. It is also ...

Imagine if you could recycle unsorted household waste like food residue, plastics, paper, cardboard and even dirty diapers into a climate-positive thermoplastic. Now imagine turning that material into ...

Building a sustainable future is an imperative as aircraft manufacturers and airlines commit to reducing their carbon footprint. To support this industry-wide advancement, Collins Aerospace (Charlotte ...

Steps are currently being taken to move towards large primary structures, e.g. integrally-stiffened skin panels. New materials, innovative design concepts and aeronautics are key innovation factors.

Building a sustainable future is undoubtedly growing in importance as airlines face greater scrutiny to reduce their carbon footprint. Rising fuel costs and supply chain delays have prompted ...

The described basic practices aim to achieve postforming of tubular structures without critical defects such as folds, wrinkles, and fiber damage, while improving the external surface quality. The ...

Having demonstrated co-consolidated TPC skin-stringer structures in increasingly larger sizes and complexity, these programs are now ramping to full-scale fuselage demonstrators in Clean Sky 2 ...
