This week, I welcome Anvesh Gurijala and Kedar Murthy of Boston Materials on the show to talk about their company as well as Supercomp™, a drastically toughened carbon fiber composite that overcomes many of the shortcomings of traditional 2D composites.
This new 3D reinforced prepreg features enhanced interlaminar and Z-axis properties that deliver greater performance and functionality at a low switching cost.
This super composite is formed by coating a standard carbon fiber fabric with milled carbon fibers. The milled fibers are vertically oriented by using a proprietary process. These Z-axis milled fibers mechanically pin the layers of a laminated composite together, drastically increasing the interlaminar fracture toughness.
On this episode, we’ll be discussing some of the benefits of this new composite technology which includes an increased toughness and strength without any detriment to stiffness, when compared to traditional carbon fiber material. You can find out more about their company by visiting https://bostonmaterials.co.
If you’re planning to attend CAMX 2019 in September, you find them at booth F95.
