Our monthly webinar series “Innovation Insights” continued Monday, September 23, as IACMI EVP/CCO Dale Brosius moderated discussions on recent technology advancements from IACMI members.
We heard from:
Sean Reymond
Chief Executive Officer
Concordia Engineered Fibers
Concordia Commingled Towpreg
A Concordia Commingled towpreg is a hybrid thermoplastic product created by the precise intimate blending of two or more advanced fibers in a continuous filament format. Join us to learn how these blended continuous tows are designed with properties such as high drapability, low bulk, sizing for the next downstream process, and superior mechanical performance.

Meeting the Challenges of Composites and Multi-materials Joining
The Center for Composite and Hybrid Materials Interfacing (CHMI) generates knowledge and capabilities in joining, bonding, and maintenance of composite and hybrid material structures by applying reliable, data-driven, automated processes using advanced analytical, computational, experimental, and digital techniques and tools. Co-funded by industry and the National Science Foundation, this presentation will explain successes to date and how industry partners can gain 10:1 or higher leverage by joining the CHMI consortium and it’s Industrial Advisory Board, which selects the research projects of most value and long term impact.

Carbon Fiber 2024: What to Expect
The carbon fiber supply chain is evolving in rapid and dynamic ways, driven by strong growth in new markets, like hydrogen storage, and by disruptions on the supply side. Chinese carbon fiber manufacturers are now exporting fiber, which introduces new price pressures to the market. Carbon Fiber 2024 will assess this changing landscape and provide a look at how other markets, like aerospace and wind energy, are impacting growth.
