Today, acrylonitrile is used in the production of acrylic fibers for carpets, clothes, and fabrics, and in plastics such as food containers, and packaging materials. Yet none have been able to compete with the traditional process in terms of cost and yield. Now, new NREL research is showing promise toward achieving this goal.

IACMI is dedicated to overcoming these barriers by developing low-cost, high-production, energy-efficient manufacturing and recycling processes for composites applications. In the wind energy industry, advances in low-cost composite materials will help manufacturers build longer, lighter and stronger blades to create more energy.

Industry partners will provide 20% to 50% cost-share, including the technical know-how and manufacturing data needed to tackle the project goals. Improving predictability of the HP-RTM process will accelerate the large scale introduction of carbon fiber composites to achieve lightweighting and thus reduce both fuel consumption and emissions.
