Advanced Engineering
30 October 2024 - 31 October 2024
The Advanced Engineering show is where engineering and manufacturing meet innovation. The exhibtion bridges the gap between sectors for the entire engineering and manufacturing supply chain.
The AMRC’s Technical Lead, Robyn Elliott, will be speaking at the Advanced Engineering Show (AES) discussing a novel high temperature unidirectional tape. Robyn will be discussing the NATEP project, Tape Extreme. Her session will detail the demand for this new material, advantages and opportunities, the milestones reached to date within the project, the further work required and potential applications.
Thursday 31 October
1:00 PM - 1:15 PM
Composites Forum
Within a NATEP funded project (finishing Q1 2025) the consortium of NEXAM Chemicals, Cygnet Texkimp, Hive Composites and the AMRC are developing a novel high temperature unidirectional tape. Our innovation arises by combining dry UD carbon fibre with a new high temperature resin formulation, which is not currently on the market. This will create an intermediate tape composite material that can be laid like a thermoplastic, but which can be subsequently crosslinked like a thermoset and withstand temperatures of more than 350°C.
