Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Discussing Carbon Fiber 2026 with Scott Francis
Q: Which market shifts should the industry be watching most closely over the next few years?
Francis points to China's capacity and pricing influence, demand shifting across aerospace, defense, eVTOL, and data centers, and new carbon fiber plant investments in India and Saudi Arabia.
Discussing Carbon Fiber 2026 with Scott Francis
Q: What would you say are the biggest storylines or focal points for Carbon Fiber 2026?
Francis says the program will address rising defense and space demand and its effects on the supply chain, with attention to market conditions and applications.
Strength in Seconds: Inside Trimer's Rapid Cure Resin Technology
Q: How do you maintain enough working time to fully wet out the fibers before triggering such a fast cure?
Sodano says Trimer controls latency by adjusting when curing starts, rather than slowing the cure itself. The resin maintains a uniform viscosity until the specified trigger point, then cures rapidly.
Strength in Seconds: Inside Trimer's Rapid Cure Resin Technology
Q: What typically makes those properties difficult to achieve together?
Sodano says Trimer's resin rapidly builds a high cross-link density through self-catalyzing behavior, combining rapid cure with thermal stability. He says the system can also reach glass transition temperatures above 350 degrees Celsius with an 85-degree Celsius cure for 15 minutes.
Giving Carbon Fiber Scrap a Second Life - Interview with Mike Graham
Q: I want you to talk about one of the things that you all have started with is upcycling, carbon fiber prepreg table scraps. You've made some proof of concept parts. Would you share a little bit about that with our audience?
Graham describes developing a way to make small products such as key rings and name tags from prepreg scraps. The parts are proof of concept, with a distinctive finish intended to signal that they are upcycled.
