Innovation has become an indispensible part of modern-day business practice. Every company and organization has the word 'innovation' somewhere in its mission, vision or values statement. Even so, many of these companies and organizations still struggle to give concrete expression to innovation. 

This article is an introduction to carbon fiber sales growth in automotive programs, market trends, competition in the materials sector, client road maps, the boom in electrical cars and the Kordsa CM11 fast curing carbon prepreg solution. 

Carbon Fiber / Epoxy Composites: Ideal Materials for Orthopedic Prosthetics.

As a continuation of our 2014 Sustainability Report, our 2015 report is being prepared in line with GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) Guidelines and in compliance with the GRI G4 Core level, with the help of a multidisciplinary team

The potential tire applications of CF-based reinforcements can be given as follows:

Every aspect of the development of composites o‑ers a fascinating story, whether it is the study of the materials themselves and their gradual and continual process of transformation, the work with engineers who are always developing new applications for composites, the manufacturers who set out to conquer new markets, or the world’s many di‑erent geographical regions that are adopting composites, often for very specific uses. Hindsight makes it relatively easy to retrace the sector’s history. It is much more di‑icult, however, to map out the future, since so many factors (e.g. the world economy, lobbies, protectionism, resources) are beyond our control. But what we can do is analyse what is happening now.

TEMSA Global’s first encounter with composite materials dates back nearly 20 years, when composite (FRP) materials were first used for the interiors of buses and the front and rear panels of vehicles. Over the following 5-8 years, FRP parts in buses were replaced with ABS and polyurethane materials. In terms of competitiveness, the topic of light and durable vehicles is a very crucial topic for all companies in the bus sector.

Do you remember the famous film series "Back to the future"? Imagine you are very lucky and the time machine is invented when you are living. What would you see if you visit year 2115?

The Composite Technologies Center of Excellence, established through a partnership of Kordsa and Sabancı University, is an innovative initiative approach exactly toward achieving the aforementioned objectives and goals. This initiative will enable running all processes related to basic research, applied research, technology development, product development, entrepreneurship, and production under the same roof.
