Laser Machining Fiber-Reinforced Plastics
of nylons), while the polymer is usually an epoxy, vinyl ester or polyester thermosetting plastic (thermosetting plastics are those that can not be recycled). FRPs are commonly used in the aerospace, automotive, marine, and construction industries. The popular Carbon fiber reinforced plastic is a strong

Stronger and Lighter -- Composites Make Their Mark
over such traditional materials as steel, aluminum, cast iron, and granite. Mention composites and engineers tend to think of carbon-reinforced epoxy and glassfiber- reinforced polymers (polyester, vinyl ester, and nylon). However, composites fall into four key classes: PMCs, metal-matrix composites

Sediment Stabilization and Permeable Barriers with Organoclay
to prevent leaching of contaminants, present in the groundwater, into the surface water. Soil stabilization consists of adding a mixture of cement, fly ash, organoclay and powdered activated carbon with contaminated soil, which results in a matrix where the organic hydrocarbon contaminants are fixated
