| Oct 2007 | CentrAL Aerospace | |
The successor of Glare is on it's way to space: CentrAL. CentrAL is an aerospace material from the Fibre-Metal-Laminate (FML) class: a lightweight Aluminum - Glass Fibre - Epoxy composite. CenrAL exhibits good ageing characteristics, mainly because of its intrinsic capability to stop impact or ageing crack growth before reaching the critical (Griffith) crack size. Compared to carbon-epoxy composites, mechanical strength under continuous load from torsion, tensile and flexural stress of CentrAL is better. However, the interfacial behaviour of fibre-metal-laminates when exposed to atmospheric water in varying environmental conditions is very probably less than carbon - epoxy composites. |

| Mar 2007 | CDCC 2007 - Canada | |
We will present our most up to date programmes on life time assessment on the Third International Conference on Durability & Field Applications of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites for Construction. Details: 22-24 May 2007, Loews Le Concorde Hotel, Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Click here for more info. |
||
| Feb 2007 | Composite Agency | |
We introduced a new trade name: Composite Agency. This new name better covers our current activities. Diffusion-polymers, a name that goes back to our origins - the Diffusion in Polymers Platform - back in 2002, will stay in use for our shareware facilities such as the forum, tables and case histories. |

| Jan 2007 | Amazing Wikipedia | |
Since our establishment we have relied upon science and the opportunities of internet with this regard. Also others have taken inspiring initiatives. Hence we are proud that we are "connected to" by Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. The follow link relates to us: Fick's Law of Diffusion. More on the diffusion coefficient and a "Brownian" movie: click here. |

| Jun 2006 | 787 Encounters Turbulence | |
Technical glitches and manufacturing woes could delay Boeing's breakthrough. For Boeing, the 787 Dreamliner, with its radical lightweight design, represents far more than a potentially juicy profit stream. Made from carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic, the aircraft is supposed to be the symbol of a new Boeing... read more. |

| Apr 2006 | ESAT 2006 | |
The agency will be present at the 22nd European Symposium on Applied Thermodynamics from 28 June 2006 until 1 July 2006 in Elsinore - Denmark. We will give a presentation on the thermodynamics and diffusion of atmospheric water in high performance composites. Specific attention is given to the behaviour of water in the composite, when the temperature in the atmosphere variates from - 70 to + 50 degrees Celsius. More details are available on the site of esat 2006. |

| Nov 2005 | Fuel Containment 2005 | |
| Sijmon van der Wal will give a talk on diffusion and chemical resistance of (reinforced) plastic containment materials. Special attention is given to Hydrogen and LPG losses from tubes and reinforced tanks when water diffuses into the opposite direction from the atmosphere. The Automotive Fuel Containment 2005 will be held on 6 and 7 December 2005 in Hannover, Germany. Conference is organized by Rapra Technology. |
