What is a peel test?

Valentina Guerra 3rd March 2021

Peel tests measure the strength of the bond between a substrate and the material being peeled off (known as the adherend). This peel strength is expressed as the load required to separate the adherend from the substrate, per unit width of the bond.

Tips for Working with Satin Weaves

Tala Abbasian 11th December 2020

Woven textiles are used extensively to produce composite materials; they are made into prepregs, infused with resins or even have resins applied with a bucket and a brush. These textiles are produced from yarn, strands or filaments by weaving “weft” or “fill” at 90 degrees to the “warp” at 0-degree direction.

What are Polymer Nanocomposites?

Ben Hargreaves 9th September 2020

In a nutshell… A polymer nanocomposite is simply a composite in which we combine a polymer matrix (which could be thermosetting or thermoplastic) with some kind of nanomaterial. In keeping with conventional polymer composites, there may also be some other form of conventional fibre reinforcement (such as woven carbon fibre) included. …and a nanomaterial is…? […]
