Integrated manufacturing of REciclable multi-material COmposites for the TRANSport sector
Transportation Matting
Transportation matting for traversing soft ground surfaces, such as beaches and muddy roads, is provided. The matting is thin, rollable, and lightweight (in some embodiments, about 1 lb/ft2) and has a convoluted configuration with alternating peaks and valleys formed from mats of a fiber reinforced polymer composite material. The matting is coilable with a preload by which the matting tends to unroll and lay flat, while retaining relatively high compliance or ease of roll-up when recovered.
