Case Study: Commercialization Application in Aerospace

Advantages of composite material Reduces costs by an estimated 20 percent Provides higher static strength, damage tolerance, corrosion resistance Allows for higher pressurization in the passenger cabin, increasing the ability to regulate

temperature, humidity and ventilation Provides an estimated fuel cost savings of more than 20,000 gallons a year

Since 2004, Boeing has placed composite orders estimated at more than $6 billion

Pleximer - Chair back example

Stronger, Lighter, Less Expensive

Stronger Better performance under fatigue

No whitening Longer lifetime

Increased flexibility and toughness Lighter

15% lighter - due to filler reduction from 17% glass fiber to 2% HNT

Less expensive Improved appearance, resulting in less defects and lower scrap Easier processing - reduced cycle time, removes the need for

expensive, specialized machinery Higher quality - superior surface finish
