Engineering Materials Live exhibitor Goodfellow has introduced an ultra-pure “green” graphene material, which is guaranteed metal-free and therefore uniquely suitable for use in metal-sensitive processes and applications. The graphene is produced by means of a highly scalable process that involves breaking methane gas (CH4), into hydrogen and elemental carbon atoms in a plasma reactor. The carbon atoms are then recombined into graphene sheets in the hydrogen atmosphere. Elapsed time from the methane gas entering the plasma reactor to the point when graphene is formed is quick - typically less ..read more

Advanced materials research at The University of Manchester has demonstrated a comprehensive picture of the evolution of damage in braided textile composites for the first time. This could lead the way to new design and implementation possibilities for next-generation aerospace engineers ..read more

Researchers from the University of Sheffield have, for the first time, manufactured 3D printed parts that show resistance to common bacteria. This could stop the spread of infections such as MRSA in hospitals and care homes, saving the lives of vulnerable patients ..read more

A visit to the Engineering Materials Live event at the acclaimed British Motor Museum at Gaydon (immediately adjacent to the JLR and Aston Martin facilities) will allow you to view almost 300 of Great Britains’ most interesting cars, including this one, for free ..read more

Chemically Assisted Surface Enhancement, or CASE, is an isotropic superfinishing process which has been developed as a metal surface treatment to provide components with excellent bending and contact fatigue strength, together with resistance to high loading ..read more

Structural composites specialist, Carbon ThreeSixty, has installed an in-house Tailored Fibre Placement (TFP) cell which it says will deliver the next generation of complex composite products three times quicker than traditional methods whilst also reducing waste by up to 90 ..read more

Entry to the Engineering Materials Live event on March 12th also provides a free ticket to see the fabulous British Motor Museum at Gaydon – and the Royal Land Rover Series 1 is just one of almost 300 landmarks of British motoring history that you can see there ..read more
