In the last day of our Fibres and composites transforming industry series, the Defence Science Institute summarises four Victoria-based composites projects making use of leading-edge research and development in Australia’s universities and industry.
In its final day, @AuManufacturing’s Fibres and composites transforming industry series looks at the issue of repair and sustainment. By Rodney Thomson and Michael Scott.
In this part of our Fibres and composites transforming industry series, Innovync looks at carbon fibre, including how it’s made, its history, how it’s being used in Australia.
By Peter Roberts Microbial resistance to antibiotics and sanitising agents is on everyone’s mind in recent times, with resistant strains already in the news even before Covid-19 hit. But two Australian companies, Wintermute Biomedical and Next Science, have been quietly developing genuinely new chemistries that represent potential breakthroughs in halting infections. Next Science’s XPerience No…
In May 1926, the Australian inventor of the Sunshine Harvester, Hugh McKay, died. His homegrown invention had created the largest factory in Australia at the time, peaking at 3,000 workers, and transformed Australian agriculture.
Mohammad Alhawamdeh, Omar Alajarmeh, Tristan Shelley, Xuesen Zeng, Peter Schubel explain pultrusion, its usefulness and its growth in adoption in this installment of our Fibres and composites transforming industry series.
It’s apparently a boom time for space businesses in Australia. However, there are pieces of sovereign capability that are sorely missing, as David Doral explains in this part of our Fibres and composites transforming industry series.
The stock market goes through cycles rather like fashion with cannabis and lithium stocks snatching the limelight in recent times. Now hydrogen floats and capital raisings are all the rage with two company announcements since the long weekend. Infinite Blue Energy has raised $10 million through a pre-IPO offering to investors to accelerate its development…
Composites production can be slow, labour-intensive and poorly-suited to complex shapes. Brent Balinski spoke to Tristan Alexander from TST, which is commercialising a process to change that.
Manufacturers involved in carbon fibre are seeing sustainability gains through the use of renewable energy, recycling, reducing energy needed for processing, and adopting new chemistries. Derek Buckmaster explains further in this part of our Fibres and composites transforming industry series.
