Covid-19 has rapidly affected day to day life and businesses. Unprecedented times call for unprecedented measures. It has elegantly forced the world indoors and has dramatically changed the everyday behavior of consumers with many people switching irreversibly to online. Technology has proved a useful and necessary tool to help ensure the course of life.

Drawing on its experience and know-how, Kordsa has started investing in automotive and industrial applications. Kordsa launched its woven based polypropylene and polyamide thermoplastic prepreg products as sheets with maximum dimensions of 1.2m x 1.2m.

This article presents process-induced residual stresses and their distorting eGects in the manufacture of thermosetting polymer composites. It shows the eGect of the diGerent properties of constituents, how they develop during the cure cycle, and how they cause cure shrinkage that results in residual stresses at the micro level and manufacturing distortions at the macro level.

Kordsa produces innovative tire reinforcement, composites and construction reinforcement technologies. It touches every corner of life, making lives both safer and more sustainable.

Digital transformation is no easy task; the opposite is actually the case. In order to make this a more seamless transition, we have to apply a new kind of inter-company relationship, where we carefully listen to our clients and co-create personalized solutions, delivering the best possible results.

Kordsa Launched a New R&D Platform “Thin Films and Flexible Electronics” in Partnership with Sabancı University

Kordsa is a participant in the European Union-funded Horizon 2020 Project “polynSPIRE” (Demonstration of Innovative Technologies towards a more Efficient and Sustainable Plastic Recycling, Grant agreement ID no. 820665), which started in September 2018.

In business, everything starts with the customer. When the customer’s needs change, not only the product itself but also the way the product is produced becomes critical.

Saving energy or reducing its consumption is among the primary aims of engineering today. Innovations in the field of materials science offer opportunities for producing lighter and stronger structures with reduced energy consumption. Among the most popular materials for this purpose are “Composite Materials”. 

Digitalization and energy are like the two sides of the same coin; very much conjoined. One can not fully evolve without the other. There is a transformation in this field towards de-centralization because the new internet architecture will be a combination of cloud and edge technologies. And the new energy industry is transforming into micro grids, de-centralized, cheaper and more sustainable energy.
