  • A new aeronautic Clean Sky 2 project takes off today in Aitiip

    The project is entitled FALCON and the objective of this project is to design and manufacture an innovative tooling system to produce composite parts for airplanes. To achieve this goal a budget of 496.250€ will be invested in 18 months.

  • Aitiip officially joins AEMAC, the Spanish Composite Materials Association

    The Aitiip Technology Centre seals its commitment to innovation and the development of advanced materials and processes after joining the Spanish Association of Composite Materials (AEMAC).

  • Aragon starts dismantling its first Airbus A380

    Aircraft decommissioning and recycling is a multi-disciplinary process, with environmental, operational, safety, legal and economic aspects. The number of aircraft retirements has been increasing steadily over the last decades.

  • Bizente Project Press Release

    Today all partners of Bizente project met online for the project´s kick off meeting. They aim to recycle thermostable composites from construction, aviation and automotive sectors amongst others.

  • Composiforum 2018, composites forum

    COMPOSIFORUM 2018 is the second industrial forum about composite and its applications, organised by the Aitiip Chair of University of Zaragoza. In this second edition key note speakers will attend, along with top enterpresises like Acciona Infraestructuras, IDEC, Airbus, MTorres, MIT, National Center for Composites (UK), FIDAMC, CDTI, Aitiip Centro Tecnológico…

  • Composites will be the main topic of the first international forum COMPOSIFOUM 2016

    The ATIIP chair at the University of Zaragoza organizes the first edition of the International Forum on Composite Materials COMPOSIFORUM 2016

  • Dismantling technologies: Resistance welding debonding & abrasive water cutting

    Nowadays, composite materials are gradually gaining relevance in the aeronautic sector. Their excellent mechanical properties, as well as their reduced density make them a suitable material to reduce the aircraft weight while respecting the mechanical requirements of the metallic materials they are replacing.

  • ECOCLIP

    ECOCLIP - Eco-friendly Frame Clips and System Brackets for a fuselage demonstrator.

  • Ecoxy

    Fibre reinforced thermoset composites (FRTCs) are attractive materials for high demanding sectors, such as automotive or construction, due to their lightweight and excellent mechanical properties.

  • Falcon

    Fully automated, controlled and versatile system for low cost, high rate and energy efficient production of highly loaded aeronautical structural parts.

  • HELAC’s Composite reprocessing: selective water cutting and resistive welding

    These days, metal is the main component of aircraft parts but, for the last few years, the aeronautical industry has been incorporating new materials, such as thermoset compounds. They require a recycling system that allows the extraction of the reusable components (carbon fiber), to produce less waste of this composite material, which is hardly recyclable until now. HELACS offers a technological solution to recycle both thermoset materials and thermoplastics, which are currently booming and are considered to be the materials of the coming future for aircrafts.

  • HELACS

    HELACS: Holistic processes for the cost-effective and sustainable management of End of Life of Aircraft Composite Structures.

  • HELACS project innovations, one step closer to recycling large composite aircraft structures

    HELACS project aims to develop a dual methodology of controlled integral dismantling, to enable the classification, recycling and reuse of aircraft parts made of thermosetting and thermoplastic composite materials.

  • HELACS, at the 3rd International Conference “Circular Economy for textiles and plastics”

    CENTEXBEL, member of the HELACS Consortium, presented the project innovations at the 3rd International Conference “Circular Economy for textiles and plastics”.

  • New bio-based epoxy resins & fibre reinforcements for composites

    The Basque city of San Sebastian has hosted the opening meeting for the European project ECOXY “Bio-based recyclable, reshapable and repairable (3R) fibre-reinforced EpOXY composites for automotive and construction sectors.”

  • Prestigious scientists debate the recycling of future composite materials at Composiforum

    A more sustainable future thanks to the recycling of composites was discussed yesterday in Zaragoza at the 3rd edition of Composiforum, an international forum that brings together scientists and experts from research centres, universities and leading companies from several European countries.

  • Recycling thermoset composites: new technologies for the industry of the future

    Nowadays over 60% of thermoset composite waste ends in landfills or incinerated, and this makes this type of material one of the biggest challenges for the waste treatment industry.

  • Recysite

    RECYSITE aims to demonstrate recyclability and reuse of a new generation of high performance fibre-reinforced thermoset composites from renewable resources (bio-waste).
