Materials for lightweight structures, crashworthiness, drivetrains, and thermal management—balancing strength, manufacturability, cost, and recyclability to improve fuel efficiency and safety across cars, trucks, and commercial vehicles.

The Growing Role of Synthetic and Natural Composites in Modern Industries

Composite materials have gained increasing attention in recent years due to their versatility and adaptability in various industrial and engineering applications. Combining two or more constituent materials, composites offer unique properties that cannot be achieved by single-material alternatives. From construction and automotive to aerospace and electronics, these materials are transforming the way products are designed

Can Biomimetics Transform Composite Materials for Sustainable Design?

Researchers and designers are increasingly turning to nature’s 3.8-billion-year experiment as a source of practical solutions for material challenges. Biomimetics — the practice of studying biological systems to inform human design — is influencing how composite materials are conceived, manufactured, and applied across industries. This shift is notable not just for performance improvements but for
