Our monthly webinar series “Innovation Insights” continues, as IACMI Chief Commercialization Officer Dale Brosius moderated discussions on recent technology advancements that industry may not be fully aware of.
On Monday, November 15 at 12PM ET a one-hour series of presentations was held from IACMI members and partners, where they provided background on new technology, products, and the key advantages provided, as well as application examples.
Attendees heard from:
- DJ Yang, Founder & Chief Technical Officer, GrapheneTX Inc.
- New carbon fiber precursor polymers and functionalized graphenes for production of cost-effective and high-performance composite products
- GrapheneTX is a customer focused, technology driven start-up company established in Texas. Its new materials produced by green technology are low-cost precursor polymer fibers for carbon fibers and functionalized graphenes. The new low-cost, high-performance composites (and plastic parts) made with the materials can be used by auto industry as well as other industries. Thus, ultimately the materials will benefit consumers and the industries by consuming less resources and keeping the environment clean.

- Matt Walp, Innovation Leader – Composites, Johns Manville
- Neomera™ Organosheets – Innovating on Fibers
- 163 years of questions led Johns Manville to a new era of material innovation. Neomera™ organosheets utilize in-situ polymerization of polyamide 6 to help deliver on the vision of thermoplastic composites. Learn how Johns Manville’s experience in fibers led to the innovation of complete wet-out of fiber reinforcements in organosheets.

- Dave Walter, CEO, Composite Recycling Technology Center (CRTC)
- Innovation Learnings – Our journey to develop 18 products with recycled carbon fiber
-
Come hear Dave Walter explain how the CRTC has scaled 18 products from inception to commercialization in 6 years and the key things the organization has learned about how to structure innovation with recycled carbon fiber. Dave will overview what the CRTC does, the products they have innovated and will share a couple of the development projects they currently have underway. He will then share some key learnings the CRTC has about innovation from the journey.
