DSM Rolls Out Dyneema~R Carbon Lightweight Hybrid Composites

摘要

DSM Dyneema at K 2016 shone a spotlight on its Dyneema~R Carbon hybrid composites. Dyneema~R fiber — made of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMwPE) — is billed as "the world's strongest fiber," is 15 times stronger than steel and yet is so lightweight it can float on water. Now the Heerlen, Netherlands-based company has found a way to combine Dyneema with carbon fiber to yield a composite material that significantly improves the performance of pure carbon composites in terms of weight, impact resistance, ductility and vibrational dampening.
