References and Abstracts fibres began within the last 25 years. Current sales of advanced fibres are measured in thousands of tons per year, not in hundreds of thousands of tons per year, as are sales of glass structural fibres. Selling prices are measured in tens of dollars per pound as compared to dollars per pound for glass fibres. Therefore, advanced fibres must still be considered as speciality materials that will be selected based only upon their high performance. While much thanks is due to the aerospace and sporting goods industries for keeping the interest in advanced fibres and composites alive, it is generally agreed that the market will not grow (and prices will not decline) until these fibres are accepted in the industrial market. Industrial market opportunities are identified for advanced fibres and composites in the next century. Specific, potential applications are cited, and the estimated volumes and values of these applications given.

A team from the University of Sao Paulo designed a bike, named the Kangaroo for the shape of its frame, which can be adjusted to fit most riders and could be made available to consumers for less than 100 US dollars. The bicycle frame, rear-arm and seat-pillar are moulded in SMC 30% glass fibre-reinforced polyester. Ross Bicycles recently launched a thermoplastic PU bike reinforced with 40% carbon fibre and long glass fibre. OWENS-CORNING FIBERGLAS CORP. USA Accession no.604039 Item 314 Plastics in Canada 3, No.1, Feb/March 1996, p.69 TRICOR FILLS CANADIAN VOID IN GOLF BALL MANUFACTURING Tricor Golf Ball Manufacturing is reported to have become Canada’s only golf ball producer. Tricor’s first golf balls came off the company’s used, 250 ton Trueblood vertical injection moulding machine in December. Plans are to produce 3,000-5,000 balls daily for the domestic and American markets. Like so many plastics entrepreneurs, Talarico and his four partners Frank Bosco, Tony Gigliotti, Nick Aiello, and a silent partner were not moulders when they decided to enter this competitive field. But they did see an opportunity. Some company information is presented. TRICOR GOLF BALL MANUFACTURING INC.; GENESIS PLASTIC MACHINERY LTD. CANADA Accession no.603230 Item 315 Advanced Composites Bulletin Sept.1996, p.4 BALSA CORE GIVES SUPERIOR DURABILITY Marine surveyor David Pascoe of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA, is reported to have determined that composite boats with a sandwich construction incorporating balsa cores are better in resistance damage than boats with monolithic hulls or cored with foam plastics. Baltek is aggressively promoting the use of balsa cores in the marine industry. An emerging trend seems to be the adoption of balsa core construction when a company uses the Seeman Composites resin infusion moulding process (SCRIMP). SCRIMP is a variant of resin transfer moulding adapted for large scale structures such as boat hulls. A good example of the simultaneous use of SCRIMP and balsa is provided by Hinckley of Southwest Harbor, Maine. Details are given. BALTEK CORP. USA Accession no.603056 Item 316 Advanced Materials Newsletter 18, No.14, Iss.405, 22nd July 1996, p.2-3 COMPOSITES GOLF SHAFTS INCREASE DOMINATION OF CAPACITY AND SUPPLY At the local SAMPE chapter meeting held recently in San Diego, JCT Sports reported on some market research into the composites golf market. The area from Los Angeles to Tijuana, mainly San Diego County, is known widely as the Golf Coast of America, because all of the companies in shaft and club manufacturing are located here - Aidila and Aidila Mexico, UniFiber, HST, Grafalloy, Quadrax, AJT, West Coast Composites, Callaway, Taylor Made, Cobra, Apollo Golf, Composites Dynamics, Easton Composites, Fujikura Composites America, Players Golf, and more. Callaway may reach 700 million US dollars in 1996 golf equipment sales, while Aidila is expected to make 58 million and HST 50 million US dollars in composites shaft sales. Aidila alone makes over 400,000 graphite fibre and epoxy shafts per month. Production may be in the region of 143,000,000 annually. This includes shafts made with all materials. However, the demand for shafts currently is estimated at only 55% of that figure, which might explain the dramatic price drop in composite shafts over the last year. Details are given.

After a decade of development work, Holger Wuerthner introduced the new T’blade design in 1996 at a sporting goods trade fair in Munich, Germany, and a rapid prototyping exhibition near Detroit. The T’blade, marketed by Wuerthner Sport-Technologie of Germany is a novel, three-piece design incorporating a replaceable, plasticmetal blade secured to an injection moulded base with a metal stabiliser. The T’blade skater can change the blade by removing the stabilising rib, which is attached to the blade base with six screws. Details are given.

Based on assessments by several council members, crumb rubber markets are in an expansion mode, with the biggest growth being in tyre-derived fuel, followed by usage in products as diverse as playground equipment, flooring, lumber and ground coverings.

Types and properties of resins and reinforcements and fabrication methods used in marine craft construction are examined, and trends in the use of prepregs are discussed.

Fibre-reinforced composites based on carbon and aramid fibres demonstrate their specific performance range to particularly good effect here. The design has two requirements to fulfil: reduction of the resistance which the Cl offers to the water, and improvement in the ratio of propulsion forces to steering forces. Details are given.
