Researchers at the University of Maine’s Advanced Structures and Composites Center (ASCC) have been recognized for their work in addressing a key challenge in the adoption of continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (CFRTPs): their complex fabrication. Their paper, “Novel Field-Manufacturing Methods for Long-Fiber Thermoplastic Composites,” highlights how CFRTPs are highly valued for their strength-to-weight ratio, recyclability and
