The Editorial team would like to announce that this website will cease to be published from the end of December. We are merging the composite content into our related website www.technical-textiles.net where we will continue to publish daily news, plus feature articles on fibres, yarns, fabrics, nonwovens and composites for high-performance technical applications.

The composite content covers international developments in research, design, manufacturing, testing and recycling of all advanced composites – organic and inorganic fibres and fillers, polymers, metal and ceramic matrices, hybrid and macrocomposite systems. Plus, news from the industry, processing, health and safety, testing and standards, and coverage of all application areas.

Full contact details are included under each item or feature for direct contact with a company or research entity. The powerful Search function locates information on many topics and companies (archived over more than 5 years). Click here to join.
