JEC Group unveils the 2013 five new trends that will change the European composites market
3/7/2013
The composites market is booming with an average of +6% growth per year since 2010. With a growing demand for better environmental impact reduction and costs savings, composites are used more and more often to lighten structures, aircraft, and vehicles in general, thus improving energy efficiency. JEC GROUP, the largest composites industry organization worldwide, has identified five developments in the market that could grow even bigger by 2030.
"Indeed, the global composites market represents 81.6 billion euros (US$108.9 billion) in value for 2012. This market is growing at an average of 6 percent per year. The composites industry is growing in volume in correlation with the increase of gross domestic product by country. And penetration continues in some sectors like Aeronautics. For instance, we expect the Composites market for Aerospace to be 4 times bigger than today by 2030. Also new applications in high volume markets continue to appear for instance in EEE, i.e. Electricity, Electronics & Consumer Goods, especially in Asia. JEC Group has developed a Knowledge & Networking service package including three platforms in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Americas to cover the whole composites market. They enable the Group to detect main trends that contribute to the composites market growth. I can foresee 5 new trends that could change and boost the market, therefore contributing to make it bigger by the next five years. The forecast is 12 Millions of metric Tons by 2017 (compared to 9.2 million metric tons in 2012)" says Mrs. Frédérique Mutel, JEC Group President and CEO.
- Converting processes towards mass production
Over the past few years, the composites sector has developed its ability to convert processes, including for large and complex-geometry parts. Large companies have invested heavily in these new technologies, which lower the cost of composite parts (e.g.: thermal curing technology enables mass production in the aerospace and the automotive sectors). "Innovation is mainly directed towards manufacturing, and in particular, mass production notably in Europe" specifies Mrs. Mutel. "For example, of all the patents granted for composites in Europe in 2011-2012, 52% involved robotics and automated manufacturing processes."
- Developing properties of thermoplastics
New resins, fibers and additive have been developed in order to improve mechanical, thermal or conductivity properties. This will have a huge impact on the automotive sector notably thanks to the revolutionizing thermoplastics resins. The automotive sector will be well represented on the JEC Innovation Corner (stand X76) during JEC Europe 2013 as 80% of the pieces presented will be cars or car parts.
- Turning materials into smart composites
Here is another revolution for the sector: smart composites with sensors which enable companies to foresee the ageing process of the parts they create. They also enable the structures to repair themselves.
- Conquering new application sectors
New sectors have started to turn to composites such as for instance, the energy sector (transmission and distribution), electronics and consumer goods (cell phones, tablets…) etc.
- Using greener materials: recycling
Nowadays, finding a way to recycle has become one of the priorities. Recyclates are now used to produce new composites and are at use in other industries such as cement work.
The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
