Subsidiary Diamond Edge Ventures has invested in California-based startup Lingrove. Its plant-based composites have 15% lower density than carbon fiber and a stiffness-to-weight ratio that surpasses aerospace fiberglass.

The Swiss startup has developed a cost-competitive process that allows structural carbon-fiber-reinforced-plastic (CFRP) parts to replace metals in aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and other demanding applications.

The use of a Tepex composite from Lanxess in a hybrid molding process results in an ultra-thin, lightweight electric skateboard with exceptionally high bending and torsional strength.

Compared with the conventional steel version, the toolbox made of a plastic composite hybrid achieves an approximate 30% weight reduction.

Thermoplastic liquid methyl methacrylate matrix resin is used as a composite material.

Soaring EV sales — they are up 169% in China year on year — are driving demand for composites.

The polyaramide is easily processable in solution, according to MIT researchers, enabling numerous new applications requiring a high strength-to-weight ratio.

StyLight styrene-acrylonitrile composites have been rebranded as Tecatec thermoplastic composite materials.
