Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) have played a crucial role in high-value applications in the US since the 1980s. However, their adoption in the UK has been slow due to high costs, complex international supply chains, and limited demand. Recent advancements in the UK's defence sector (hypersonic technology), energy sector (nuclear fusion), and aerospace industry (efficient engines) have sparked a growing demand for these advanced materials, along with a strong commitment to overcoming the associated development challenges.
The UK's material supply chains and manufacturing capabilities are undergoing transformation, making these advanced material systems more accessible to end users.
In its 2nd year Extreme Composites: Developing a sovereign supply chain, will provide updates from key industry players, showcasing how the supply chain is evolving and how technological advancements are bringing these high-value materials to market. This event will:
- Identify the future opportunity for emerging CMC technologies and current capability in the UK.
- Identify and connect the supply chain and industry that are actively engaged in deploying and developing CMCs in the UK.
- Present current CMC research from technology partners, providing a viewpoint of UK based skills and technologies.
