Functionalization of fiber-reinforced plastic composites by thermal spraying
In this video, Fraunhofer’s thermal spraying group demonstrates how thermal spraying can be successfully used to apply multilayer heating systems with fiber-reinforced plastic composites so they can be used in applications previously dominated by metals.
One of the world’s lightest solids
Aerogels are the world’s lightest (least dense) solids. They are also excellent thermal insulators and have been used in numerous Mars missions and the Stardust comet particle-return mission. The focus of this video is silica aerogels, though graphene aerogels are now technically the lightest.
