Having described the structure of the composites in my previous post, we can effectively investigate the environmental impact of the production of the laminates, which are manufactured with various methods. The hand lay-up is still quite popular, although the vacuum bagging and infusion are gaining momentum, due to the superior finished product. In all cases…

How can we limit environmental impact from composites? Part A
Composites are quite distinct in their manufacturing process, since from the primary materials we get the final product in one step. It is a sharp contrast to the steel or aluminium construction, where we have the original plate that needs cutting, forming and welding in order to get the block assembly, before the block. There…
