HUGE NextCOMP thanks to our industry partners, External Advisory Board,funder @EPSRC & team for their time & fantastic engagement at the NextCOMP Annual Review! We really enjoyed sharing progress & very productive discussions.Big Shout out to @AspLeif for his fab talk yesterday

[NextCOMP @NextCOMP_ac_uk]

TODAY at 10:00 BST join us to hear from @AspLeif on realisation and performance of carbon fibre-based structural battery composites! @UoBrisComposite @BristolUniEng @aeroimperial @CompositeCentre

[NextCOMP @NextCOMP_ac_uk]

Session 7 finished with a bang with Prof Philip Withers @RoyceInstitute showing some awesome in situ films of kink band formation at 20,000 frames a second

Session 7 in our sessions here @iccm23 has begun and it’s a very popular one with lots of attendees currently listening to a very interesting talk by Prof Russell Varley @DeakinIfm @Deakin

[NextCOMP @NextCOMP_ac_uk]

And we are off! Our first session of today @iccm23 kicks off with Prof Milo Shaffer @aeroimperial @CompositeCentre presenting on behalf of @Bismarck_PaCE @IMCRUnivie in session 5 of “Understanding and improving compression strength” @UKRI_News

[Bristol Composites Institute @UoBrisComposite]

We're half way through the week with day 3 of #ICCM23 looking to be busy with a variety of talks from #BCI and #NCC. You can catch 11 BCI talks across the day and the #NextCOMP special sessions continue in Hall 2A from 10am-4pm.View the full programme here https://t.co/RmnBRyyRMz

[NextCOMP @NextCOMP_ac_uk]

A busy day for us and our #Certest colleagues here @iccm23 Check out our sessions on understanding and improving longitudinal compression taking place in hall 2A from 10am today kicked off by @AspLeif @chalmersuni and @mecomposites @CompositeCentre

[Richard Trask @RS_Trask]

Excellent investigation on "A novel bio-inspired microstructure for improved compressive performance of multidirectional CFRP laminates". Fascinating insight provided by @silvestretpinho and the @CompositeCentre team on the potential for bio-inspired damage tolerance.

@UoBrisComposite Amazing news Jemma, richly deserved for all your outstanding innovation and creativity

[The Composites Centre Imperial @CompositeCentre]

We've published our paper on using silica aerogel (SAG) to partially fill the matrix space in GF composites. We feel SAG offers a promising route to address the 'holy grail' of enhanced compression performance of composite laminates @NextCOMP_ac_uk

Today we are @Digi_Makers and loving it! Lots of families chatting to us and testing out their jelly and pasta composites in the NextCOMP crusher! Loads of brilliant activities to do here! Thanks for including us @BristolUniEng

[NextCOMP @NextCOMP_ac_uk]

Casting jelly beams on a Friday night can only mean one thing.. Tomorrow is an outreach day 😃
