Can a motorsport vehicle be adapted for drivers with reduced mobility without compromising safety? The first FIA-endorsed adapted Cross Car, unveiled by the Real Federación Española de Automovilismo (RFEDA) in 2026, set out to prove it could. Managing Composites...
Carbon fiber and titanium are two of the most premium materials out there for high-performance parts. Even though both have outstanding mechanical properties, they’re pretty different in key ways—so let’s break them down and see when it makes more sense to go with one...
Natural fibre composites are no longer confined to low-load or purely aesthetic applications. Over the past decade, flax reinforcements in particular have matured into engineerable materials that combine low density, attractive specific stiffness and outstanding...
Discover what is exactly carbon fiber, what makes it so special and how it is produced. Learn its key properties, applications in aerospace, automotive, and hypercars, and why it has become the ultimate material for high-performance engineering.
Discover how sandwich structures improve composite’s strength-to-weight ratios with minimal weight penalty and explore the most common core materials. From foams and honeycombs to natural options like balsa and cork, each of them with their pros and cons.
Forget the “carbon fiber killer” hype — basalt fiber never replaced carbon in high-performance composites. But that doesn’t mean it failed. In fact, it’s now delivering impressive results in the construction sector.
Is forged carbon fiber a great material—or does it just look good? In this article, we explain what forged carbon really is, how it compares to traditional continuous fiber composites, where it truly performs and where it doesn’t.
How to transform a kayak into a paddle: In the MC4 Project, Managing Composites demonstrated real-world composite circularity by repurposing a kayak into a paddle. Using vitrimer resin and controlled reprocessing, this case shows how sustainable composite manufacturing can turn end-of-life products into new components.
Shape memory materials are transforming engineering design with their ability to recover shape upon activation. This article explores their evolution into shape memory polymer composites (SMPCs), unlocking new possibilities in aerospace, biomedical, and high-performance applications.
Active aerodynamics optimize vehicle performance and efficiency in real time. Composite materials—especially carbon fiber—are key to enabling lightweight, movable surfaces that adapt to driving conditions, improve airflow, and reduce energy consumption.
