From Japanz PAN Based Carbon Fiber, Current and Future
Toray Industries,Inc. Advanced Composite Materials Div. ACM Technology Dept.
Masahiro Nishiharaz The unique properties of pitch based carbon fiber “DIALEAD®” andthe applications, the present and the future
Mitsubishi Plastics, Carbon Fiber Division
Akihiko Yoshiya
The demand for Pitch based carbon fiber is growing as well as that of PAN based CF.
DIALEAD® is the trademark of a coal tar pitch based carbon fibers produced by MitsubishiPlastics Inc which is a core business company of Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Group.
The unique
These days, machine industry has become a major market for DIALEAD®.
properties of DIALEAD® such as high modulus, high thermal conductivity, and extremely
low thermal expansion are very effective to improve the performance of industrial machines.
The behavior of DIALEAD® unique properties, the actual applications of DIALEAD®
composites, and the future prospects will be presented.

z Application of Tensioned CFRP Strip Method to an Existing Bridge.
Nippon Steel Composites, Technical Development Department
Akihiro Tateishi,Makoto Saito,

Tensioned carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strip method or Outplate-method® wasapplied to the 28 years old reinforced concrete (RC) box girder bridge in order to rehabilitate
and increase the load capacity of the bridge. The Chofu Bridge had been deteriorated by 28years of heavy traffic and had many cracks on the underside of the main girders. Before andafter the CFRP application, on-site load tests of the bridge were conducted using a45ton-weight vehicle. Results of the tensioned CFRP strip application to the bridge girders
proved effective to reduce the stress in the reinforcing bars and to reduce crack widths.

z Development of the Chain-curing RTM Process-extremely high productive composite manufacturing technology
Hiroshi Mizuno Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.
Kiyoshi Enomoto R&D Institute of Metal and Composites for
Future Industries
Replacement of metals by composites in commercial aircraft prime structures is rapidly
increasing to achieve further structural weight saving and reduce fuel consumption with abackground of globally soaring oil prices. However, the mainstream of composites
manufacturing technologies is still using autoclaves for curing and their production costs arehigher relative to metal components manufacturing. Therefore, the reduction of the production
costs in composites manufacturing are strongly needed as well as reliability and stability intheir quality. We studied liquid composites molding method by the chain-curing technique asa new mean. The chain-curing technique is our original technology and has unique points
such as rapid curability, shadow region curing capability, and almost no energy consumption
for cure. In this paper, we focus on the innovative RTM technology utilizing the chain-curingsystem1) called "the chain-curing RTM". The chain-curing RTM is extremely high productive
composite manufacturing technology, which clearly shows the great potential of application toaerospace structures.

From U.S.A.

z Practical Examples of Design for High Volume Manufacturing ofComposite Materials
Prof. Dr. Ir. Clem Hiel
Composite Support & Solutions Inc.
The presenter will discuss relevant manufacturing experience developed on an 85 foot tallelectrical transmission tower, and a tubular and tapered powerpole. A common denominator inthese applications is the implementation of innovative fabric-folding technology whichcreates structural joint members with high shear strength. They are ideally suited forsnap-joint assembly, which has yielded the latest application breakthroughs in aerospace andenergy infrastructure projects.

Time tested integrated design and analysis approaches will be highlighted. These have theadvantage that they allow the user to seamlessly move from the development to the prototype
and into the production stage.
Ongoing experience with all composite open-top trailers will be discussed as well as amass-produced composite part which recently received the “world innovation award.”z Dynamic Solutions to problematic vacuum bagging challenges
Craig Barker, CEO, and Michael D. Kipp Chairman
ACTR (American Consulting Technology and Research)“Explore the problems associated with the vacuum bagging of highly contoured
carbon fiber parts. We will provide solutions for vacuum bagging and consolidation of parts
formerly considered to be impossible.
A demonstration of the vacuum bagging of Isotruss components will beProvided as well as the introduction of new products for the sealing and protectionof carbon fiber tooling. We will also introduce Isotruss structural technology to the aerospaceindustry.”

From Europez A two minutes Production of tube molding with tool surface heating byinduction
Alex Guichard, CEO, RocTool, Francez Composites Implementation Challenges
Prof. Jan Anders Månson, EPFL, Switzerlandz Ｍass production of thermoplastics with continuous fibers
Dr. Matthias Gäumann, ELCEE, Switzerland
Polymer composites are popular in sports and aircrafts, thanks to their superior performance
to weight ratio with respect to many other materials. However, they are traditionally less costcompetitive at the high volumes associated with commodity applications.
Integrated Processing of Polymer Composites (IPPC) is a technology that has been developed
at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, in Lausanne, and has recently been transferred toa start-up, EELCEE SA. This technology enables high series production of molded plastic
components with integrated continuous fiber reinforcements.
The presentation highlights fields and applications of IPPC, by covering technical andeconomic aspects. A special emphasis is given to the automotive industry, given theparticularly high demand for light and affordable car components, along with more
integration of functions. The presentation will also highlight some challenges related to theimplementation of novel technologies in established industries.
