Brad Dunstan, 58, Melbourne, Australia, passed away last week. Dunstan’s career in the automotive industry spanned almost 40 years. He was a leader in developing Australia’s high-tech automotive components sector. He set up the Victorian Centre for Advanced Materials Manufacturing (VCAMM) and played an instrumental role in establishing the Carbon Nexus carbon-fiber research facility at Deakin University, where he was director. He was an advocate for carbon fiber, well-known in the industry and will be greatly missed.

    Cryomotive’s CRYOGAS solution claims the highest storage density, lowest refueling cost and widest operating range without H2 losses while using one-fifth the carbon fiber required in compressed gas tanks.

  • Materials & Processes: Composites fibers and resins

    Compared to legacy materials like steel, aluminum, iron and titanium, composites are still coming of age, and only just now are being better understood by design and manufacturing engineers. However, composites’ physical properties — combined with unbeatable light weight — make them undeniably attractive.
