Despite it’s newfound electrification, the 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine underneath the X5 M Competition’s bonnet continues to produces 460kW/750Nm, but sports a better cooling system, a new manifold and reinforced crankshaft, new oil-pump and the option of having the engine cover finished in carbon fibre reinforced plastic. As before, top speed is limited to 250 […]

The fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) recycling market is expected to reach over 95,763 tons by the end of this year and is projected to register a CAGR of around 9% during the forecast period. The COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted the market in 2020 due to various trade and operational restrictions. However, after the loosening of restrictions

The ongoing agitation in Mysuru and other centres by farmers seeking a higher Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP) for sugarcane will shift from the district centres to Bengaluru from November 22, Tuesday. This was announced by the Karnataka Sugarcane Cultivators Association president Kurubur Shanthakumar here on Friday. He said a 24×7 protest will be staged

New York, United States, Nov. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP), also referred to as glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), consists of a polymer matrix with fiber reinforcement. FRP is widely used to fabricate vessels for numerous industries, including chemical, mining, power, pulp & paper, and other sectors. Polymer matrices like epoxy, vinyl ester, and polyester are typically employed in

This latest research by Persistence Market Research indicates that the demand for GFRP composite materials would change significantly between 2017 and 2021. Demand was driven in part by the rapid increase in the usage of composites in a wide variety of end-use sectors. Construction, transportation, renewable energy, and other end-use industries have grown fast in

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have become more popular in civil engineering applications over the last three decades as a result of their superior properties when compared to traditional construction materials like concrete and steel. However, due to growing environmental concerns over excessive CO2 emissions stemming from the increased usage of petroleum-based materials, a new trend in

The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated a ramp up of our country’s healthcare infrastructure. To aid the frontline healthcare professionals in their efforts, Tata Steel along with other Tata Group companies including Tata Projects and Tata Consulting Engineers have demonstrated both agility and collaborative spirit by working together on a 500-bed Greenfield hospital project being developed

The polymer matrix is developed via a step growth or addition polymerisation and is usually an epoxy, vinylester or polyester thermosetting plastic. FRP are chiefly created through molding processes, where a mold is used to place a fiber preform – containing balsalt, carbon, an aramid, or even glass – into the matrix. Occasionally asbestos, wood
