Helicoid® technology - bioinspired composite material for ultra-tough, lower weight and lower cost structures

TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY

Helicoid® is a disruptive biomimetic composite technology which significantly improves fiber-reinforced composite impact toughness with 10%-40% weight and cost savings. Helicoid® laminates are laid up with smooth inter-ply angles which reduces interlaminar stresses for unprecedented structural integrity. Helicoid® applies to most fiber/resin, disrupting aerospace, automotive, sprots and renewables markets.
