The latest innovations in thermoplastic composites broaden the scope of materials being used or offer a more efficient approach to how the product is being made. New ideas include the production of thermoplastic composites from recycled composite materials. Another looks at overmoulding a thermoplastic composite with a compatible thermoplastic. A number of automotive-related projects look to leverage the lightweight, high strength characteristics of a composite thermoplastic to meet growing environmental demands by replacing metal.
