Integrated manufacturing of REciclable multi-material COmposites for the TRANSport sector

RECOTRANS Project was presented at JEC World 2018 in Paris.

JEC World is the biggest and most important world show dedicated to composites market. From raw material to processors and end-users, JEC World attracts each year in Paris, over 40,000 professionals looking for innovation, new partners and insight on their industry’s future. The event combines exhibitions, conferences, awards, B2B meetings and job opportunities, among others.

 

Anabel Crespo, senior project researcher from AIMPLAS, explained the project during in a conference in the event. Anabel holds a Degree in Chemical Sciences by the University of Valencia and she is specialized in thermoset resins and composite materials and processes, providing services to industry and troubleshooting consultancy. She has worked in many plastic research projects at different levels: European, National and regional ones, mainly focused on nanocomposites, polyurethanes, alternative techniques for the curing of composites, materials from renewable resources and sustainability. She has been involved in the technical coordination of several FP7 projects and CIP Eco-Innovation focused on composite sector (POLYCOND, CORNETFOAM, ECORUBBER).

The title of the conference was Recyclable multi-material composites, and it treated the following issues: MW radiation for composite curing; Laser joining and Long fiber thermoplastic composites.

After the conference, Anabel had the opportunity to talk to other speakers and attendants, and she could confirm the industry’s interest in the project and its promising results.
