JEC Asia Awards

JEC Asia lnnovation Awards 2017: 12 winners
uring the first
sia
show in eoul outh orea
com anies were
rewarded in several major application sectors. Like the rest of the world, the
sia acific region is seeing ma or develo ments in carbon
materials
lighter and safer cars and transportation systems, renewable energy, processes
and raw materials.

AERONAUTICS

Hybrid SMC technology for aircraft applications
The Hybrid SMC technology combines tailored, preimpregnated fibre reinforcements
and sheet moulding compounds (SMC) in
a one-step compression moulding process to
produce complex, lightweight and functional cabin aircraft components in a time-saving and cost-efficient way. The partners developed new SMC materials using chopped
and continuous glass as well as carbon fibre
reinforcements (impregnated TFP, woven
and UD fabrics) together with unsaturated
polyester resins and flame retardants to fulfil the strict fire-smoke-toxicity and heat release requirements for cabin applications.

Winner: Composite Technology Centre
/ CTC GmbH - An Airbus Company
(Germany)
Partners: Polynt Composites Germany
GmbH (Germany), Helmut Schmidt
University Hamburg - Laboratory for
Manufacturing Technology (Germany)
and Airbus Operations GmbH (Germany)

They also developed an appropriate compression moulding procedure characterized
by a special preforming of the SMC fabrics

in relation to the mould. This new technology allows cost reductions, full automation, high production rates, function
integration and new designs with complex
shapes.

AUTOMOTIVE

Multifunctional carbon SMC spare wheel pan
For the first time, the new Mercedes-AMG
E-Class is built up with a new multifunctional spare wheel pan made of carbon fibre
SMC material. As a structural part in the rear
structure of the vehicle, the spare wheel pan
fulfils high functional requirements for stiffness, NVH (noise, vibration & harshness)
performance and structural integrity in the
event of a crash. This part also improves driving performance through a better weight balanced vehicle, enhancing ride and handling.
Due to the manufacturing process, the new
material offers a higher degree of freedom in

component design as well as the integration
of load-oriented structures with very good
specific material properties. Compared to
conventional steel constructions, the weight
reduction is approximately 44%. Carbon
SMC is an efficient and economical route
providing excellent cost ratios due to rapidly decreased cycle times and related costs, together with low scrap rates and net-shape geometries. While keeping economics within
acceptable ranges, carbon SMC is an option
for the large-scale production of composite
parts.

Composite sandwich panel for modular construction
Logelis uses its Logimur® technology to build
individual and collective buildings offering a
very high energy value at low cost. Logimur®
constructions have a thermal resistance
greater than 7 while keeping the price down
to €950/m2 only in France. The construction system is highly innovative and allows
fast, high-quality construction due to the use
of sandwich panels (2.80x1.25x0.16m) that
combine composite skins with a polyurethane foam core. These constructions can be

weather-proofed within 3 to 10 days of construction.This patented technology meets all
building needs worldwide: hospitals, houses, commercial buildings, schools, etc. The
Logelis system can be used with wood, steel
or concrete structures depending on the requirements and local regulations. Doors,
windows and electrical conduits are integrated at the factory. No special skills are required
on site as the panels are preassembled in the
factory.
