2019 Pre-Conference Seminar
Tuesday December 4th, 2018
1:00 pm- 4:00 pm
Fee: $595.00
Join us for this preconference seminar given by Chris Red of Composites Forecasts and Consulting LLC and Mike Favaloro of CompositeTechs LLC. Participation in this session includes a handout from the speakers, a copy of the presented file (edited for distribution) and a refreshment break. Participation in the Carbon Fiber conference sessions are a separate fee unless otherwise noted.
The Market for Thermoplastic CFRPs in Aerospace and Automotive Applications
Abstract:
The adoption of carbon fiber composites in aerospace and automotive applications has enabled engineers to continually push the boundaries of performance, design, safety/reliability, and revenue generation over the past 50 years. The majority of this history has been focused on the fabrication of thermoset polymer composites. During this time thermoset materials and processes have matured considerably. The adoption of thermoplastic materials and technologies, however, has progressed more slowly. Recent advancements in thermoplastic chemistry, processing and design techniques are creating new opportunities for carbon composites are changing this. Growth in thermoplastic CFRP now exceeds that of traditional thermosets. This seminar will discuss many of the materials, technologies, and advancements leading this change and how they are expected to move the market over the next ten years.
