SuMoth Challenge 2023 x Bcomp
Bcomp returned as a sponsor for the SuMoth Challenge in 2023 - once again part of the legendary Foiling Week which celebrated its 10th anniversary in Malcesine on the shore of beautiful Lake Garda.
Last year’s SuMoth Challenge already left us impressed. The student teams showed very interesting concepts and seeing their sustainable moths foiling across the water of beautiful Lake Garda was simply inspiring. This year, we were proud to be back and continue our support of the SuMoth Chal-lenge as official partner. The young generation represented by these students is the future of our soci-ety and our high-performance industries. Events like the SuMoth Challenge are incredibly important for them to explore new ideas and gain valuable experience across so many different areas while working in an interdisciplinary team. And on top of everything they are just pushing the limits of sustainability in high-performance foiling applications.

    this is so toxic as usual with epoxy resin that as any noncomposting polymer it just transforms in nanoplastic and accumulates in the body. there are several natural fibers beyond flax and shouldnt be wasted in a supremacist vehicle these techniques should be transmited in open source projects rather than this propietary fallacy.

  • @IEleMenTIx
    @IEleMenTIx 4 роки тому

    I dont really agree that natural fibre composites are sustainable if the matrices are thermoset based. Or did you use a different matrix system? Either way, natural fibres will always be unpredictable in terms of mechanical performance from batch to batch which is why i dont see motorsports teams changing from CF or GF to NF. Also stiffness and strength of NF does not suffice to be a candidate for CF replacement - here CF is unbeaten. However, in impact applications there could be a certain advantage of NF vs CF.

    I'm thinking about using flax and power ribs to make a composite sheet. I"m wondering how to go about putting some nomex honey comb in the center. Seems due to the ribbed nature of the final product, it may not be as easy to get a good bond to the honeycomb even with some peel ply. Would love to experiment with this, have you lot found any success sandwiching nomex honeycomb? Love that the parts don't need infusion mesh, but an unflat, potentially un-bondable surface makes it quite an inconvenience, do you have any solutions for this? Wish I could bundle over to Switzerland and partake in some r&d! All the best from UK
