MatWeb: Free Online Materials Property Database
Searchable database of over 21,000 engineering materials. Included are thousands of composite molding materials with glass, carbon, aramid, PBO, and NCG fiber reinforcement as well as the fibers themselves.
Lightweight Materials Program
This program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is aimed at developing new, cost-effective, environmentally sound materials for the U.S. transportation industry.
Planomers/Nanocomposites
Describes TNO technology in the area of nanocomposites, so-called planomers. Planomers are polymers with nanoscale modified clay particles that enhances the properties of many polymers.
