CompPair

CompPair developed structural composites that can autonomously repair cracks.

Fibre-Reinforced Composite structures are marked by a design limitation: their sensitivity to small damage events. Our technology provides to structural composites the ability to repair autonomously these events easily and at minor cost, while keeping mechanical performances and manufacturing routes comparable to commercial composites. In particular, the life-time of the part can be extended to at least three times. We demonstrated the upscale of such strategy on a typical aerospace part.

The core of CompPair technologies is to provide a material solution for the autonomous repair of cracks into composite structures. We develop technical textile integrating directly the healing agent. The versatility of our technology makes that it can be applied to any structural composite parts, where cracks are regenerated during its life-time, reducing the part structural integrity. We will demonstrate this especially for windmills and storage thanks, applications suffering highly from these issues.
