Semi-flexible pavements represent an innovative class of composite materials that combine the inherent flexibility of asphalt with the rigidity and high compressive strength of cementitious grouts.

A Washington State University research team is solving a high-tech waste problem while addressing the environmental challenge of stormwater run-off. The researchers have shown they can greatly ...

Systematic, well-designed, and implementable research is the most effective way to solve many problems facing state department of transportation (DOT) administrators and engineers. Often, highway ...

AZoMaterials spoke to Scott Mittl, Vice President of Sales at Insaco®, about how composite materials are defined, how composites are machined by Insaco, and the expected direction of CMC materials in ...

The idea that the whole can be greater than the sum of the parts isn't limited to superhero teams. It applies just as well to some real-world materials. By blending distinct components into composites ...

Russia aims to regain its leadership in the carbon fiber sector and the production of strong, lightweight composite materials used in construction and industry. In the 20th century, Russia was a world ...

In my January 2019 column, I discussed methods to determine whether properties obtained from mechanical testing of composites are correct — or even reasonable. One of the methods focused on comparing ...

Composite materials are engineered by fusing different materials, typically consisting of a matrix (a polymer, metal, or ceramic) and a reinforcement (such as fibers, particles, or flakes) that ...

A research team is solving a high-tech waste problem while addressing the environmental challenge of stormwater run-off. The researchers have shown they can greatly strengthen permeable pavements by ...
