Thermoset composites are rapidly emerging as a vital high performance material and are even starting to replace aluminum and steel in many markets despite the material’s inherent drawbacks: thermoset composites are currently expensive, slow to produce, and intrinsically difficult to repair or recycle. Connora is addressing those limitations by developing their Recyclamine® resins for HP-RTM (high-pressure resin transfer molding) applications in automotive.
Funded by NSF SBIR Phase I & II grants Connora is developing the world’s first Recyclable HP-RTM epoxy resin system, in collaboration with BMW.
