Michelman Chosen to Join Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation
CINCINNATI – Michelman has been chosen to be part of a 122-member consortium that will make up the new Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation (IACMI). Michelman brings a team of reinforced plastic composites specialists and a long history of innovative product development in the field.
Led by the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, the IACMI connects the world’s leading manufacturers across the supply chain, with universities and national laboratories pioneering advanced composites technology development and research. It will focus on lowering the cost of advanced fiber-reinforced polymer composite materials by 50%, reducing the energy used to make composites by 75% and increasing the recyclability of composites to more than 95% within the next decade.
