Polyurethane materials assist in the localization of high-speed rail core components

The CTCS onboard responder is installed at the bottom of the train, and the ground passive responder is installed on the railway line, serving as a signal transmission device on the line to send message information to the train. The CTCS onboard responder and ground passive responder are both composed of a casing, circuit board, and polyurethane filling. Polyurethane material has the function of protecting the circuit board and ensuring successful signal transmission.

Application of Composite Honeycomb Sandwich Structure in Civil Aircraft

Abstract: Composite honeycomb sandwich structures have the characteristics of high strength, high specific stiffness, low density, good compressive and bending resistance, and are widely used in the field of civil aircraft. The application areas include the fuselage, engine hood, fairing, cabin door, antenna hood, leading edge, etc. The widespread application of honeycomb sandwich structures has significantly reduced the weight of aircraft structures. With the advancement of molding technology and the improvement of material properties, honeycomb sandwich structures are gradually being applied to main load-bearing structures such as floors. This article first analyzes the research progress and development process of honeycomb sandwich structures. Secondly, the application of honeycomb sandwich structures on typical aircraft components was summarized. Finally, the current application status of honeycomb sandwich structures on civil aircraft floors was introduced.

Polyurethane composite materials can significantly improve the energy-saving indicators of doors and windows

Polyurethane composite materials can significantly improve the insulation and fire resistance performance of building curtain wall doors and windows, making the entire window highly efficient, energy-saving, good fire resistance, sound insulation and noise reduction, lightweight and high-strength, stable size, and resistant to chemical corrosion. It is a new generation of energy-saving curtain wall doors and windows products.

A new breakthrough! Basalt fiber composites are the first to be used in the automotive field

The weight of new energy vehicles is an important factor affecting their endurance. Research shows that new energy vehicles reduce their own weight by 20%, can effectively increase the endurance of about 5%-10%, save about 15%-20% of the battery cost, can effectively reduce energy consumption, so automotive materials are gradually from traditional materials (steel, cast iron, etc.) to lightweight, high-performance, diversified, green and environmental protection of advanced materials development. Basalt fiber is known as the "green new material in the 21st century", basalt fiber reinforced composite material is basalt fiber as reinforcement, resin base or cement base as matrix composite material.

Prepreg market status and prospect analysis at home and abroad

Market conditions for prepregs In 2018, the global prepreg market was $6.7 billion, and the prepreg market is expected to reach $11.5 billion in 2024, of which thermosetting prepreg will account for more than 75% of the entire prepreg market. Thermosetting prepregs are subdivided according to resin type, including epoxy prepregs, phenolic prepregs, BMI prepregs, cyanate prepregs and polyimide prepregs. Epoxy prepreg is expected to maintain its market dominance over the next 5 years, while BMI prepreg is likely to see the highest growth over the forecast period with the development of supersonic aircraft. BMI prepregs can be used at temperatures up to 350°C or higher. Asia Pacific will see rapid growth, driven by China, India and Japan.
