Great opportunity to join NextCOMP as a Research Associate working on Nanostructured High Performance Composite Matrices- closes 15 Jan so check it out now nextcomp.ac.uk/pages/opportun… Based at Bristol Composites Institute @BristolUniEng

Casting jelly beams on a Friday night can only mean one thing.. Tomorrow is an outreach day 😃

Today we are Digimakers and loving it! Lots of families chatting to us and testing out their jelly and pasta composites in the NextCOMP crusher! Loads of brilliant activities to do here! Thanks for including us @BristolUniEng

We've published our paper on using silica aerogel (SAG) to partially fill the matrix space in GF composites. We feel SAG offers a promising route to address the 'holy grail' of enhanced compression performance of composite laminates NextCOMP doi.org/10.1016/j.coco…

Festival of Nature’s #WildWeekend is buzzing! 🐝 We’re here until 6pm today and back tomorrow - come join the FREE nature fun! 🐠 Don’t forget our special guest appearance from @MaddieMoate at 4pm today 👀 What will you do to support your local wildlife? 🦔 #FON23

Talking woodpeckers, armadillos, and mantis shrimps, the team are shrimp-peck-ably rolling with the punches here today.. Festival of Nature Bristol Composites Institute @BristolUniEng Public Engagement @ Bristol Uni

And we are back!! Day 2 of Festival of Nature is here so come see us to vote for your favourite “composite creature” Armadillo is currently the front runner.. Bristol Composites Institute @BristolUniEng Public Engagement @ Bristol Uni

Did you catch the brilliant NextCOMP team showcasing their composites research at last weekends Festival of Nature in Bristol? You can read all about the event on the BCI blog: lnkd.in/eUrabXcR Well done to all involved! University of Bristol #Composites #Research #NextCOMP #EPSRC

Come join us to hear the amazing Leif Asp delivering a fascinating talk on multifunctional composites and how they will help the world achieve our Net Zero targets #NetZero #multifunctional #structuralpower #composites

Excellent investigation on "A novel bio-inspired microstructure for improved compressive performance of multidirectional CFRP laminates". Fascinating insight provided by @silvestretpinho and the The Composites Centre Imperial team on the potential for bio-inspired damage tolerance.

A busy day for us and our #Certest colleagues here International Conference on Composite Materials Check out our sessions on understanding and improving longitudinal compression taking place in hall 2A from 10am today kicked off by Leif Asp @chalmersuni and Pimenta et al The Composites Centre Imperial

We're half way through the week with day 3 of #ICCM23 looking to be busy with a variety of talks from #BCI and #NCC. You can catch 11 BCI talks across the day and the #NextCOMP special sessions continue in Hall 2A from 10am-4pm.View the full programme here lnkd.in/eQjvCBvu

And we are off! Our first session of today International Conference on Composite Materials kicks off with Prof Milo Shaffer Imperial Aeronautics The Composites Centre Imperial presenting on behalf of Alexander Bismarck Institute of Materials Chemistry @univienna in session 5 of “Understanding and improving compression strength” UK Research and Innovation

Session 7 in our sessions here International Conference on Composite Materials has begun and it’s a very popular one with lots of attendees currently listening to a very interesting talk by Prof Russell Varley Deakin IFM Deakin University

Session 7 finished with a bang with Prof Philip Withers Henry Royce Institute showing some awesome in situ films of kink band formation at 20,000 frames a second

TODAY at 10:00 BST join us to hear from Leif Asp on realisation and performance of carbon fibre-based structural battery composites! Bristol Composites Institute @BristolUniEng Imperial Aeronautics The Composites Centre Imperial

HUGE NextCOMP thanks to our industry partners, External Advisory Board,funder Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council & team for their time & fantastic engagement at the NextCOMP Annual Review! We really enjoyed sharing progress & very productive discussions.Big Shout out to Leif Asp for his fab talk yesterday
