WINNERS OF THE NETHERLANDS COMPOSITE AWARD 2003.

Publication: Advanced Materials & Composites News
Date: Monday, March 17 2003

March 11, 2003 - At the recently held National Netherlands Composite Conference, organized by Jaap Ketel of Brisk Events, 13 products were entered for the 2003 Netherlands Composite Industry Awards.

The jury unanimously decided to award the First Prize to the loW8 (pronounce "Low Weight") first full composite LPG tank for automotive use developed and build by Advanced Lightweight Engineering (ALE) of Delft, the Netherlands.

Second prize went to Prins Dokkum for their all carbon/epoxy truck wheel rim called "Dynawheel."

The third Prize went to Po

Nanocomposites: Broaden Roles in Automotive, Barrier Packaging.

Nanocomposites are gradually gaining acceptance in the mainstream of global plastics processing. These polymer compounds, containing relatively low loadings (under 6% by weight) of nanometer-sized mineral particles, are beginning to show up in polypropylene and TPO-based automotive exterior claddings (see sidebar), barrier beer bottles, nylon packaging films, polyethylene pipe and ......

Nanoscale technology yields better thermal insulators

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign created a better thermal insulator by controlling material structure at the nanoscale.
