Welcome to the annual gathering of Composites professionals in Asia
>
The 9th annual session of JEC Asia is returning to Singapore: the “Smart City of the Future”. Indeed, the city-state’s full-scale experiment with new-generation, driverless electric taxis, for which the design was based on the Renault Zoé and the Mitsubishi i-MiEV is a world premiere and reflects the commitment of Singaporeans to be at the forefront of technology and innovation.
Singaporean authorities have invested heavily in composites. Every university has at least one department that is directly or indirectly involved with these innovative materials. And most, if not all, are participating in JEC Asia 2016, just as in previous years. Depending on your specific interests, you’ll be able to learn more about the trends and innovations in five key sectors: automotive, aeronautics, design, offshore, and testing & life cycle. Also, The Kingdom of Thailand has been chosen as Country Guest of Honor at JEC Asia 2016, in
recognition of the serious efforts by its industry to develop their composites activities through a solid combination of developing companies, structured associations and committed institutions. This year again, JEC Asia is innovating. Besides the conferences, the poster sessions, the leadership circle, the B2B meetings, the JEC Innovation Awards and the 2 composite tours, we have created a new program dedicated to startups, with the aim of fostering the most innovative ones. Selection is based on the quality of the project. The runners-up will give a ten-minute presentation of their project before a jury of professionals, and the winning start-up will receive an award to support the continuation of its development. As you can see, JEC Asia keeps on innovating and adding new services to foster knowledge and we will continue doing so in 2017…watch out for our official announcement for JEC Asia 2017. We are wishing you a fruitful visit.

Bistrot chair: 100% Organic Composite Materials and Bio-based Resins
Robotized Cell for the Creation of Dry Fibre Preforms Without Operator
For the first time, a new mechanical densification method has been successfully developed to densify CNT fibres/ films into highly dense structures. This new densification method could directly apply high densifying forces in the lateral direction of CNT fibres/films, and therefore produce much better densification effects compared to other methods such as liquid densification and twisting, or drawing through dies. Another advantage of this method is the use of protective layers to prevent damage in the CNT fibre/film structures during the densification process. After combining with epoxy infiltration, the treated fibres exhibit an impressive increase of 13.5 times in strength and more than 63 times in stiffness, the highest improvement factors reported in literature so far. CNT fibres possess excellent mechanical properties that are significantly better than those of CNT fibres posttreated with other methods. They also present high electrical properties, thus showing great potential to replace convention metal wires. In addition, CNT fibres have excellent knot strength performance and high thermal properties. This project also includes a direct and scalable aerogel method that makes it possible to fabricate self-supporting CNT aerogels at higher deposition rates. The whole fabrication process takes only about 1-2 hours and can produce metre-long CNT aerogels continuously without freeze drying and supercritical drying processes. The undeniable advantages of the established process also include its precise control of the amount of impurities and the morphology of the CNT aerogel.
Revology has reinvented the bistrot chair, 100% made of organic composite materials and bio-based resins. All the structural parts are made of thermoplastic braids reinforced with flax fibre, using the RocTool process to reduce the production cycle time. All the transparent parts are made with bio-based materials. The Revology chair will be one of the lightest chairs in the world, and indestructible. Revology chose flax composite materials not only for their mechanical properties, but also to highlight the natural beauty of this design chair. The launch involved 18 months of development to enable presenting the Revology concept chair for the first time in March 2016, at JEC World. The next steps include Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns to presell the products and organize the mass production and industrialization in three factories (Europe, Asia and USA), in order to deliver the chairs worldwide within five business days. There are about 300 million bistrot chairs to replace. The Revology chair is one of the lightest chairs in the world. What’s more, it is indestructible and uses natural and sustainable materials.
To meet composite manufacturers’ need for more and more automation, Techni-Modul Engineering (TME) developed a robotized cell that can create a preform made out of dry fibre materials without operator intervention throughout the entire cycle. Dry fibres were chosen to enable out-of-autoclave solutions. TME designed and manufactured its first RTM mould in 1988 and rapidly specialized in this manufacturing process. The company conducted many RTM projects and identified the need to automate this process for various reasons. They also identified the demand for robotized lay-up of pre-impregnated materials, so the study is being extended to the handling of such prepreg materials once the protection film has been removed. The innovation is related to the improvement of the composite part manufacturing process. The added value comes from the integration of new functions, including intelligent automation and pick, place and fold in a 3D shape. The preform robot cell was developed for several reasons. While the aerospace and automotive industries are struggling to meet the production rates required for the current backlog, the robot makes it possible to reduce the cycle time by a factor of 2, 3 or 4, depending on part geometries and the manual layup process previously used. It also ensures quality and repeatability by eliminating all potential errors. The robot is programmed to pick, place and fold the plies accurately at the right place, whereas the manual process involves as many chances for human errors as the number of plies to lay up. Even an experienced operator can sometimes be led into error by executing his tasks quickly under time pressure. Finally, as this solution can replace the human operator, it also avoids potentially harmful repetitive movements.
WIND ENERGY Aditya Birla Chemicals Instant Thixotropic Structural Epoxy Adhesive Epoxy adhesives used as a bonding paste for joining two halves of a wind rotor blade are designed to have high sagging and slump resistance during application. These bonding pastes are processed and mixed by dispensing machines and applied on the shell of the rotor blades. The thixotropic nature of the components makes it challenging to process these materials and leads to air entrapment and voids during application, which in turn leads to defects and bonding failures after curing of the adhesive mass. The innovation concerns the development of a twocomponent epoxy adhesive with low-viscosity flowable components that, on mixing, develop instant thixotropy and provide superior sagging resistance compared to the currently used materials. This innovative product is also designed to provide longer curing times and faster strength development, together with similar mechanical properties such as bonding strength, stiffness, critical stress intensity factor, critical strain energy release rate and fatigue performance. While the product was designed with rotor blade requirements in mind, it can also be used in other demanding composite bonding applications. Considering the growth rate of wind energy in terms of installed capacity year on year and the growing need for high-performance adhesives in other segments, the product is estimated to have a potential of over 20,000 tons per annum. The product can also cater to the needs of industrial and infrastructure applications, since it addresses the limitations of mixing high-viscosity thixotropic components.

Carbon-Fibre-Reinforced Plastic Composite Rear Wall of Mercedes-Benz S-Class AMG A joint programme was conducted by Mercedes-Benz and Multimatic to develop a lightweight structure from inception to production, spanning the entire composite value chain. The selected structure is a carbon-fibrereinforced plastic composite rear wall (RW) for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class AMG version. The RW is a bodystructure stiffening element with a significant contribution to the vehicle’s static and dynamic performance. Similar examples of structural panel components currently exist in low-volume production (e.g. for the BMW i3 & i8 or Audi R8) with the ability to expand existing industrialized processes (RTM) to higher production volumes having shown only limited economic viability. The key to high-volume CFRP manufacturing was to split the conventionally sequential in-mould process steps of injection-infiltration-cure into parallel press compression moulding process steps of impregnation and curing. To achieve an efficient CFRP design, the structure was optimized using advanced engineering tools to attain an aggressive mass reduction of 50% versus the existing aluminium-plastic hybrid solution. From a design aspect, the tangible end-user product benefit is a reduced component mass with equal performance that contributes to lower fuel consumption and, of particular importance for Mercedes-Benz AMG performance cars, improved vehicle dynamics. From a manufacturing aspect, the SPP process opens up new opportunities to extend CFRP component performance benefits from lower to higher production volume vehicle applications (e.g. 100,000 vehicles per annum).
Development of a 14 Seater Civil Aircraft: ‘SARAS', Integrating The Fuselage Bulkhead With The Composite Dome CSIR-NAL has taken up the development of a 14-seater civil aircraft named Saras. One of the challenges was to design and develop the rear pressure bulkhead as a part of the structural weight reduction programme. Weight savings and performance can be maximized using co-curing technology, resulting in significant reductions of fabrication cycle time, cost and weight. Co-cured structures have fewer fasteners, resulting in shorter assembly cycle times and reduced sealing issues. The pressure bulkhead separates the pressurized region of the fuselage from the unpressurized region. Ideally, a dome (shell) type of construction is more efficient in transferring pressure loads by membrane action, which is reacted as in-plane stresses in the composite dome. This property of the shell makes it more economical than a flat plate under the same loading conditions. Composite domes have been used for rear pressure bulkheads in recent aircraft programmes such as the A380, A350, B787, etc. The rear pressure bulkhead consists of the fuselage frame, which is a ring of 1.8m diameter having an I-section co-cured with a dome-shaped skin. Gussets are provided on either side of web to connect longerons (stringers) on either side of the bulkhead. The entire part is conceived such that all three regions are integrally made into one part, taking the design/stress requirements along with manufacturing feasibility into consideration. The bulkhead is manufactured using a Hexcel prepreg and an autoclave moulding technique.

EXVIEW: An Innovative Transparent Composite For Trains With a New Flame Retardant Concept The project, which focuses on an innovative flame-retardant composite material, was conducted under contract with Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry as part of the Strategic Advance Technical Assistance Business 2011 programme. Developed by AIST, the Claist transparent clay film is 3 to 200μm thick and possesses heat resistance and high gas-barrier properties. It was already used for various CFRP gas-barrier tanks (hydrogen tanks for automobile fuel and oxygen tanks for rocket fuel). Inspired by this application, AIST conducted tests to apply these gas-barrier properties for flame retardant performance. The composition combines the flexible transparent clay film with advanced transparent epoxy composites. First, the transparent epoxy composite was moulded by infusion (8 layers of glass fibre, clear epoxy resin and crystalline silica). Then it was cured in an oven and the clay paste was coated using a spray process. As a result, the moulded transparent epoxy composite possesses higher flame retardant properties than standard flame-retardant composites and high enough strength to be taken into consideration for train lighting covers. This innovative technology of clay film and transparent epoxy composites was developed and adopted for the lighting covers of the Japanese railways. The partners received the authorization of JRMA in 2014 and named this transparent epoxy composite EXVIEW®.
CONSTRUCTION Republic Polytechnic , ETH Zürich, Singapore-ETH Centre Maximizing Bonding Between Sustainable Bamboo Composite and Concrete Composite reinforcing bars (rebars) have gained attention in the building industry due to their higher corrosion resistance and durability than steel. The market for fibrereinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4% between 2016 and 2021. However, one of the limitations of current FRP rebars using carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) or glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) is their high cost and non-sustainable sources. As a result, there is a demand for cheaper FRP made of sustainable materials that retain a high strength-to-weight ratio and good corrosion resistance properties. In recent years, bamboo FRP has been preferred. Bamboo is a fast-growing and sustainable raw material that grows in abundance in the tropical belt, making it cheaper than other materials. Similar to other FRP, the adhesive strength between bamboo FRP and concrete is one of the limiting factors that prevent the use of bamboo FRP in rebars. Therefore, this project aims to develop an adhesive coating to chemically enhance the bonding strength between bamboo FRP and concrete. It will then be possible to use bamboo FRP for rebars while achieving the required bonding strength. Converting bamboo into a bamboo composite improves the water resistivity of the material and opens great prospects for use in structural applications such as concrete reinforcing bars.

Durable and Light-weight Flexible Riser Reinforced with Carbon Fiber Composites for Extreme Environments of Offshore Oil and Gas Fields
Isotropy and Integrity Testing Solution for Recycled Carbon Fibres
Partner: SINTEX NP Group
The aim of the project is to file a patent for a carbon fibre composite based armour for flexible pipes. The material is made of a UD material reinforced with high-strength transverse carbon fibre combined with an epoxy resin (potentially thermoplastic).The material can be pultruded into continuous lengths up to 5000 metres without splices. Its service life is 20 to 30 years under harsh environments that involve fatigue corrosion, water, CO2, H2S, CH4 up to 100°C, etc. In this project, the use of composite materials results in several advantages. Most notably, the weight of pipelines for oil and gas exploration and production in ultra-deep water is drastically reduced. Pipe service life is also increased, a major step towards innovative designs for offshore flexible pipes. The main application sectors are the deep and ultra-deep water oil and gas markets. The main benefits of this project are: • reasonable size of the required installations and equipment, as well as significantly shorter installation times; • improved corrosion resistance and longer service life of the pipeline; • no need for the buoyancy modules currently used with conventional steel pipelines; • drastically reduced overall costs without affecting the safety of the whole system.
Carbon fibre waste is precious, so there is high motivation to develop recycling. High-quality parts can now be produced from waste short-cut fibres. For the first time, the novel SURAGUS sensor makes it possible to assess the uniformity and isotropy (alignment) of recycled carbon fibre material non-destructively. The challenge for recycled products is to reclaim the material at minimal cost while achieving almost the same mechanical properties as the virgin product. The two main properties of recycled carbon fibres (rCF) are their orientation (degree of isotropy) and fibre distribution (weight uniformity). The innovation aims at determining both properties non-destructively during manufacturing and post-production. The underlying concept consists in using the electrical properties of carbon fibres to measure their amount and alignment locally. The innovation comprises a new sensor design and algorithm to measure both the fibre areal weight and the prevalent bulk-fibre orientation for rCFRP or CF-SMC. It is a noncontact eddy current based solution that can determine the isotropic or anisotropic character of chopped or continuous fibre parts for semi-structural or safety-critical use. The clue is to use a focused sensor to quickly monitor fibre angles and distribution.

Closing the Loop for Tenax® Thermoplastic Composites Toho Tenax has pursued the target to recapture the full value of CFRTP by developing recycling solutions as recyclability will become an important factor for Aerospace industry as it is today for the Automotive field with stringent standards. The Tenax®-E COMPOUND PEEK CF30 is a “green“ composite innovation based on recycled by-products from Tenax®-E TPCL PEEK-HTA40 (Carbon Fiber/PolyEtherEtherKetone) production and customer scrap. The material reinforced combination of recycled 30% carbon fiber and recycled semi crystalline PEEK, offers high performance in strength and stiffness for injection moulding applications. This material is almost identical to virgin material at much lower costs. The Sintex NP Group was as partner responsible for the part manufacturing process based on Tenax®-E COMPOUND PEEK CF30 and the assessment of material processability compared to today’s virgin material standards within their production processes.
The non-contact isotropy testing system enables effective re-manufacturing and efficient re-use of rCF, rCFRP and CFSMC due to novel sensors that non-destructively measure the key properties for mechanical use: main fibre directions (an/isotropy) and fibre distribution.
