Coventive Explains...

Can I have it in composites?

Ben Hargreaves 15th August 2019

In this explainer, we’re going to focus on the fundamental choices which need to be made with regard to materials and part production methods and consider the links between the two.

Types of Polymer Matrix

Elliot Fleet 5th July 2019

There are many different types of polymers that can be used as a matrix for composite materials. In this explainer, we’ll look at ways in which these materials can be categorised and highlight the key differences between them. Let’s start with perhaps the most fundamental categorisation… Thermoplastic or Thermosetting? Thermoplastic Thermoplastics can be heated and […]

The Opportunities for Thermoplastic Composites

Chris Hare 31st May 2019

The primary driving force behind the emergence of thermoplastic composites into the mainstream is the automotive industry. And the things that drive the automotive industry are weight saving and low cost, so how do thermoplastic composites meet the challenge?
