Recent developments in carbon fibre reinforced composite mouldings with improved surface profile

Composite structures can offer performance benefits over traditional materials. Over the last twenty years various products in industries of extreme diversity have evolved incorporating advanced composite mouldings for improved stiffness and weight saving. Particular composite systems providing specific and often unique properties have also enabled technical progress in such as the avionics, cryogenics, medical, sub-sea and communication markets: many examples could be cited.
