In a 1-year trial with a sewage plant company, Toray’s CO2 separation membrane demonstrated 70% lower moisture removal costs.

Toray Industries, Inc., announced that it has innovated a carbon dioxide (CO2) separation membrane with a dual all-carbon structure. This comprises a hollow fiber porous carbon fiber as a support and ...

This graphic shows an unconventional approach to making widely used composite materials stronger and tougher. Thermoplastic fibers are deposited like cobwebs on top of rigid fibers to chemically form ...

Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...

Ceramic matrix composite (CMC) materials are made of coated ceramic fibers surrounded by a ceramic matrix. They are tough, lightweight and capable of withstanding temperatures 300-400 degrees F hotter ...

ORNL researchers, from left, Sumit Gupta and Chris Bowland inspect carbon fiber materials as part of their effort to improve the performance of composite materials. Researchers at the U.S. Department ...
