Research projects from the University of Bath and the University of Plymouth demonstrate that composite materials are being used to work towards a more efficient future.

For example, composites are vital for the aerospace industry where wings can be constructed to change shape in flight, making better use of flying conditions and drastically improving fuel efficiency. Also, in the renewable energy sector, composites are essential for the manufacture of turbine blades which need to be light, strong and durable.

From the creation of renewable energy to the next generation of air travel, composites have the ability to transform our world.
