What’s next: a sneak peek at the innovation set to transform composite manufacturing
As the composite industry shifts toward a circular economy, manufacturers face a dual challenge: integrating nontraditional feedstocks while maintaining high-performance output. This session explores the technical pathways for processing recycled carbon fibers, natural fibers and waste-derived materials using advanced scattering and double-belt press technology. Rather than viewing sustainability as a cost burden, this webinar will examine the "define and refine" methodology—a systematic approach to optimizing material composition and recipe accuracy. Attendees will learn how continuous production cycles reduce energy demand and processing steps compared to traditional batch methods, supported by data-driven insights into carbon dioxide reduction and process repeatability. Agenda Brief introduction to IPCO and overview of 2025/2026 market trends and their significance Innovations and next-generation products: using recycled materials for interior and exterior applications Energy efficiency and process optimization: reducing energy demand and processing steps Versatility and material selection: handling virgin and waste stream feedstock materials Scalability and production reliability: repeatability, recipe accuracy, and energy savings
The performance of the final product depends heavily on the degree of cure - making it critical to ensure that the reaction goes to completion for the highest quality and reliability. Achieving this requires both a deep understanding of the resin’s curing behavior and precise control of process parameters. Tools such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dielectric analysis (DEA) and oscillatory rheometry provide powerful ways to characterize thermal transitions, cure progression and flow behavior. Each method delivers distinct insights. In this presentation, NETZSCH will discuss when to use DSC, DEA or oscillatory rheometry. These techniques also serve as the basis for kinetics analysis using Kinetics Neo software. Kinetics modeling allows simulation of resin behavior under any time or temperature conditions. This not only enables process optimization and consistent product performance but also helps reduce manufacturing variability and thus scrap rates by predicting and preventing potential processing issues. Agenda: Comparative use of DSC, DEA and oscillatory rheometry in thermoset cure characterization Kinetic modeling approaches for curing processes The role of vitrification as a critical parameter in cure analysis

Kaneka Aerospace specializes in high-performance composite materials tailored for aerospace and industrial applications. Its portfolio of prepregs, resins and adhesives delivers properties that go beyond lightweight and strength — enabling customers to achieve greater value in manufacturing and sustainability. In this session, Kaneka Aerospace will unveil recent innovations in tooling and structural repair, two critical areas for the economics and longevity of composite structures. Kaneka Aerospace has developed a unique BMI prepreg designed to lower tooling costs while maintaining high performance. Unlike traditional BMI tools that require high-temperature master molds and costly fabrication processes, this prepreg cures first at 250 °F (121 °C) and then undergoes a free-standing post-cure at 400 °F (204 °C). The lower initial cure temperature allows the use of less expensive master molds, while testing demonstrates the carbon fiber reinforced BMI tools’ thermal and dimensional stability under extended use. To further support the composites market’s growth and sustainability goals, Kaneka offers a proprietary repair resin engineered for efficient structural repair. Its low viscosity and balanced mechanical properties ensure effective filling of damage such as delamination and matrix cracks. Comparative testing of repaired versus undamaged composites highlights strong performance across tensile strength, fracture toughness, compression after impact (CAI), and combined loading compression (CLC), showcasing repair as a cost-effective alternative to part replacement.
Ultraviolet energy (UV) curing, also known as energy curing, has been used by the composites industry for some time, but it is still not quite as well-known as some other curing chemistries. The extremely rapid cure speed leads to high throughput and productivity, while the breath of physical properties of the cured resins allow them to be used in a variety of applications. The possibility of making lower VOC/styrene free formulations with very long pot life and reduced waste are also benefits of UV technology. In this presentation, allnex will briefly review what UV curing entails and compare the advantages and challenges of energy curing with thermally curing technologies (for example, peroxide curing of UP resins). In addition to comparing the chemistry of these approaches, we will also look at which composite manufacturing methods best lend themselves to energy curing. We will show some examples of UV curing being used in today’s composites world and where it might go in the future. Finally, this session will review allnex’s line of RAYLOK C products for UV curable composite manufacturing. Agenda: UV technology review Properties of UV cured composites Examples of UV composite technology being used today and possible future uses Review of the allnex RAYLOK C product line
