Play episode

This week, Monica Rommel president of Specialty Materials Inc (SMI) joins me on the podcast show. SMI is the world’s leading supplier of the highest quality Boron and silicon carbide fiber products, and advanced composite materials. 

Monica is life long learner who has worked at two aerospace prime contractors as a materials engineer supporting the development of fighter jets, supersonic transports, and satellite payload systems.  

Boron fiber is produced in single-filament reactors by chemical vapor deposition. It exhibits a unique combination of high compression strength, high modulus, and large diameter. No other composite material has higher compressive strength properties. 

It is one of the original high-performance synthetic fibers used for structural applications and has found applications in aircraft, space, sporting goods, and industrial applications.
