COMPINNOV TP2 project: Acting on thermoplastic prepregs to optimise the quality of industrial composite parts!
2023 marks the end of the COMPINNOV TP2 project. Three years of research and development into high-performance thermoplastic composite semi-finished products, giving us a better understanding of the links between prepregs materials and manufacturing processes. Context The IRT Saint Exupéry COMPINNOV TP2 project is part of the French aerospace industry, for aerostructure applications. Most of[…]
End of the “CMC en service” project around the development of a test bench for ceramic matrix composite materials.
This October 2022, the CMC en Service project ended after four years of research and development around a test bench (the flame bench) allowing advances in composite materials with ceramic matrix testing.
