Explore the future of sustainable composites in architecture, from bio-based and recycled materials to hybrid solutions.

Natural fibers have a rich history of reinforcing materials for over 3,000 years. The renewed interest in natural fiber composites in the last five years is driven by a focus on improving and ...

A new generation of materials scientists is developing sustainable materials – and methods for making them – in response to warnings of an imminent climate catastrophe. Natural and plant-based ...

Composite and hybrid materials constitute a rapidly advancing field in materials science, wherein two or more distinct constituents are combined to produce synergistic properties unavailable in the ...

Natural fibres are bio-based materials manufactured from materials such as wood, cotton, flax, kenaf, and hemp. All these materials are less harmful to the environment and easily available. The raw ...

Europe will generate 683,000 tons of composite waste in 2025. The global recycling capacity is currently under 100,000 tons. Until we can find better ways to repurpose these materials, over half a ...

According to U.K.-based McLaren, a recent pioneering breakthrough that may further transform motorsports and beyond, is a natural fiber racing seat, considered to be the very first Formula One (F1) ...

We’re talking about composites, which are basically materials made from two or more different components. Think of it like a ...
