Avient enhances virtual simulation and prediction services for structural applications of its fiber-reinforced polymer materials.
Currently, 168 long fiber models are available for Avient materials, representing nearly half of the long fiber models in Digimat.
Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

Here, continuous fibers, such as glass or carbon, are pulled through a thermoset resin bath, such as epoxy, polyester, or vinyl ester, and then formed into a desired shape using a die.
Materials and processes such as fiber type, fiber volume, resin type, and surface veils and treatments can be engineered to meet specific properties and application requirements.
This means that they are weaker in the direction perpendicular to the fibers.

Our high fiber volume,
glass-reinforced thermoplastic panels and
continuous resin transfer molding (CRTM)
thermoset sandwich panels can streamline
production and reduce system costs by
eliminating assembly steps such as welding,
drilling, bolting and riveting.
Our composite panels are custom engineered
by varying core thicknesses to increase or
decrease stiffness; by varying core materials
(including end-grain balsa, foam or engineered
woods) to increase or decrease weight; by
varying fiber to modify the stiffness-to-weight
ratio; and by varying the base polymer to
increase or decrease strength

According
to Gordon, carbon fiber, despite its energy-returning
effects, is not as friendly as fiberglass for a runner’s
muscles, tendons, and joints.
The unique positioning of the continuous glass fibers
within the Polystrand™ material makes the very thin
profile of the FlexSpring™ composite insoles possible,”
said Gordon.
They fit comfortably in most athletic
shoes, including racing spikes, with the glass fiber
properties providing comfort and performance benefits
to the user.
