Solving the Production Rate Challenge in Aerospace & Defense Composites
Aerospace and defense manufacturers face the challenge of increasing throughput while maintaining structural performance and controlling costs as production demands rise. Fast-cure composite materials offer one way to shorten manufacturing cycles, but understanding performance and processing tradeoffs is essential before implementation. Join us as we examine the engineering considerations behind fast-cure composites, including cure kinetics, exotherm behavior and comparative performance data. We will also demonstrate how cure simulation provides additional insight during process development. Attendees will gain practical insight into evaluating fast-cure composite materials for high-rate aerospace and defense manufacturing. Agenda Manufacturing Opportunities: Finding the right balance between throughput, cost and structural performance in aerospace and defense composites Setting the Baseline: Reviewing established, qualified prepreg performance data and what “equivalent performance” really means when evaluating a faster-cure alternative The Data: Comparing mechanical performance, cure time, exotherm behavior and processing options for a proven prepreg system and a fast-cure alternative Cure Simulation: Live demo of a cure simulation tool that helps manufacturers predict cure behavior before starting production

What Seven Labs Discovered When They Tested the Same Composite, Six Ways
Even when labs follow ASTM and ISO standards to the letter, tensile test results for unidirectional carbon fiber composites can still vary—and the reasons why aren't always what you'd expect. A recent global round-robin study involving seven labs and six coupon designs set out to find the real sources of variability and the results challenge some long-held assumptions about specimen geometry, strain gauge accuracy and sample preparation. In this webinar, Instron will walk you through the study's key findings, what they mean for your own testing practices and how the right tools and methods can help you get more consistent, trustworthy data from every test. Agenda The study at a glance—How seven labs and six coupon designs were used to pinpoint what really drives variability in composite tensile testing The real culprit behind inconsistent results—Why sample preparation and cutting method matter more than coupon shape or which lab runs the test Strain measurement, reconsidered—What the data shows about optical extensometers and DIC versus traditional strain gauges Validating a clean break—How high-speed imaging confirmed failure locations and what that means for interpreting your own results Putting it into practice—Instron products and services that help you apply these findings to get more reliable data from your unidirectional tensile tests

High-Performance, Non-PFAS Options For Release & Protective Films
Despite the versatility of fluoropolymers in demanding, high-performance applications under harsh environments, many of them have been classified as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and are facing increasing regulatory scrutiny. However, polyvinyl fluoride (PVF) is outside all current regulatory definitions of PFAS due to the lack of full fluorination and the presence of hydrogen on each carbon in the backbone of the polymer. This positions PVF as a sustainable alternative to traditional fluoropolymers while retaining outstanding weatherability, durability and chemical resistance. In this talk, DuPont will review composite applications currently commonly utilizing PFAS materials and the status of PVF as a non-PFAS fluoropolymer within the regulatory landscape. DuPont will highlight PVF's exceptional surface protection and barrier properties, its compatibility with multiple composite manufacturing processes and its multifunctional use as a release film. Agenda Review of current PFAS regulations and in-scope materials Use cases for PFAS materials (films and coatings) in composite applications Non-PFAS options: range from non-fluorinated lower-performance materials to non-PFAS polyvinyl fluoride Overview: what PVF is, why it is non-PFAS and what its attributes are Real-world case studies

Low-Dielectric Thermoset Materials for Radome Design: Selection, Qualification and NCAMP Allowables
As aerospace and defense radar systems push into higher frequency bands with increasingly complex antenna arrays, radome material selection becomes a critical design variable. Composite architectures must simultaneously satisfy dielectric performance targets and structural, thermal, and environmental qualification requirements that vary across platform and mission profiles.In this webinar, Tom Sutter of Renegade Materials examines the latest low-dielectric thermoset material systems developed for radome applications, with emphasis on how specific Renegade systems address design requirements across relevant frequency ranges. The session covers material qualification pathways, manufacturing challenges, and an NCAMP-published design allowables database — a publicly available resource for reducing qualification risk and supporting certification efforts.Attendees will leave with a technical framework for evaluating and qualifying next-generation radome materials against electrical, structural, and regulatory design requirements.

Integrating AI and Machine Learning to Accelerate Composite Resin Formulation
Artificial intelligence and machine learning have entered into everyday usage, but what impact can they have on polymer and ceramic matrix composites development? Composite performance depends heavily on matrix properties that govern processability and operational stability. Increased digitization is providing clear value across industries, but successful application in composite resin formulations requires a clear understanding of the key questions and insight into the critical design factors. Combining expert know-how and atomic-level detail with powerful artificial intelligence and machine learning tools enables resin formulation teams to maximize successful design initiatives. This webinar will demonstrate how integrating machine learning with molecular simulation enables faster, more informed development of next-generation resin formulations.
