Already in 2014, growth forecasts were 15% to 20% in industry, and forecasts at the time pointed to a fourfold increase in its use in sectors such as aeronautics. This was reported by the newspaper El Pa\u00eds (August 4, 2014) in its economics section, where it announced a coming boom in the use of this type of material. Well, the results have exceeded expectations, and today composites are a present with a broad future in constant growth. In fact, back in 2017, stable annual growth of 5% was predicted for the coming years, following the previous boom.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7f5d1c33 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7f5d1c33\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5aa9be0c\" data-id=\"5aa9be0c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7df18a98 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7df18a98\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul>\n<li>Specific qualities that drive the development of composite materials.\n<p>We have generally attributed the reasons for this expansion to the fact that composites provided an excellent response to what are known as the three Es: Economy, efficiency, and elegance, but today many other aspects have been added to their long list of advantages.<\/p>\n<p>The benefits they represent for the environment and ecology do not go unnoticed at a time when there is widespread awareness and activism in all countries to achieve short- and medium-term goals that improve energy efficiency and preserve natural resources. Composites thus promote sustainable industrial and construction processes.<\/p>\n<p>Another of the most influential aspects is the constant innovation and improvement of materials. R&amp;D is inextricably linked to the industrial composite sector. Today, work is primarily focused on research and testing on the bonding of carbon fiber and fiberglass using polymeric materials and resins, what we know as FRP or Fiber Reinforced Polymers. New and modern processes are being developed, such as RTM, Resign Transfer Molding, high-thickness infusion, Hand Lay-Up, and pultrusion. Progress is also being made in testing new materials such as graphene, which far exceeds the hardness and properties of steel and is even more flexible and lighter than carbon fiber.<\/p>\n<p>In this way, more flexible, lighter, and more resistant materials are continually being achieved, enhancing their specific qualities and adding the desired values \u200b\u200bfor their purposes, such as insulation, structural capacity, mechanical strength, electromagnetic transparency, ultraviolet light filters, durability, corrosion resistance, and recycling properties.<\/p>\n<p>In this way, we are moving toward an industry that transcends the mere transformation of natural raw materials to create its own perfected material. Once developed, it only needs to be applied to the creation of specific products that meet the proposed objectives.<\/p>\n<p>Lightness, precision, elasticity, special physical qualities\u2026 These are all attributes of these composite materials that facilitate the mass production of parts, assembly on manufacturing lines, or on-site assembly. Likewise, they facilitate a design perfectly tailored to its purpose.<\/p>\n<p>External circumstances that favor its expansion to all sectors<\/p>\n<p>We have already mentioned one of the main drivers of the industry today: environmental protection. And it is precisely as a result of this common objective across all industries that important innovations and changes in market direction are taking place, favoring the demand for composite materials.<\/p>\n<p>A clear example of this is the strong development of electric cars in the automotive industry. These vehicles require lighter and more resistant materials and find in FRP the optimal solution.<\/p>\n<p>Other factors, such as the need to reduce specialized labor or simplify assembly with products that incorporate in a single product what previously had to be achieved by several, directly impact costs, competitiveness, and efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Where composites are headed.<\/p>\n<p>All experts agree that composites are the material of the present and the future. Their application, in addition to traditional sectors such as construction, the aeronautical industry, transportation, and energy, is increasingly extending to all types of industries, and these materials are present in the manufacture of products as diverse as drones, mobile phones and computers, medical prosthetics, the development of exoskeletons with multiple applications, and the manufacture of X-ray equipment.<\/p>\n<p>This clearly unstoppable growth suggests that composites will almost completely replace products developed from natural raw materials, such as wood, stone, iron, and steel. The only challenge ahead is to provide profitable and definitive solutions for recycling and the possibility of achieving zero waste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-172bdee elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget
