High Performance Ductile Composite Technology
Composite materials like carbon fibre are often seen as materials of the future, but the truth is that lots of different types of composite materials are already used to make things you probably use every day: from bikes, golf clubs, tennis racquets and medical products, to aircraft, cars, and even bridges.
HiPerDuCT stands for High Performance Ductile Composite Technology.
Based at the University of Bristol in Bristol Composites Institute and the Composites Centre at Imperial College London, we are exploring various strategies for making composite materials like carbon fibre more ductile.
