BMW is preparing to ditch carbon fiber in favor of a new natural alternative made from flax-based composites. The automaker partnered with Bcomp, a clean-technology company that has been helping BMW ...

Through a novel electrospinning technique, researchers have effectively achieved a “bridge” between carbon fiber and its ...

Following its motorsports endeavors, BMW will start rolling out natural fiber composites in series-production machines. BMW ...

Voltammetry is widely used to investigate neurotransmission and other biological processes but is limited by poor chemical selectivity and fouling of commonly used carbon fiber microelectrodes (CFMs).

AllShield Coatings says that its fire-resistant product can be installed under a new roof covering or applied to the roofing ...

The fiber drawing and coating process impacts strongly on the transmission and strength properties of optical fibers. Current practices which lead to realization of optimum fiber properties are ...

Abstract: An optical fiber Fabry–Perot interferometer (FPI) based on poly (ethyleneimine) (PEI)/ poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) blend membrane is proposed and realized experimentally as a sensor for the ...

Custom-fabricated skylights ensured the roof's watertightness, while their corrosion-resistant profiles—made of maintenance-free fiberglass composite—required no additional coating, offering a ...

To go along with the increased power, BMW dropped with weight of the CS versus a regular M2. You now get a carbon fiber roof, trunk lid, rear diffuser and mirror caps.
