Composite Research

CoRe is an Italian start-up, aimed at the study of new product and process solutions in the field of composite materials. In 2015, CoRe developed and patented an innovative composite sandwich called the MadFlex and started to introduced it to the market. Thanks to a weight and an environmental impact 4 times lower than ABS and aluminium and to its unique mechanical properties, the MadFlex allows rethinking, redesigning and simplifying a considerable number of applications in different fields, from automotive/nautical to building /furnishing, from aerospace/defence to sport /healthcare. In a fast growing global economy, weight, encumbrance, environmental impact and modularity are key concepts. At present however, companies must choose between structural strength/insulation efficiency and lightweight/transportability. Often, the wished result is achieved only by the use of complex systems (hinges) and additional material layers, with consequent increased costs and labour. In developi...
