CRC-P Next Generation Pultrusion Processes

The data in this collection includes the experimental and numerical results on optimising the novel pultrusion processes. By using a holistic engineering approach the research team hope to optimise the existing composite pultrusion process for increased productivity and further develop novel value-added products such as, fire retardant civil structures to be used in rail and pedestrian bridges. This project will enable Wagners to optimise the pultrusion process for higher productivity so that Wagners can stay competitive not only in Australia, but in a global market. It also ensures manufacturing is leading edge and innovative right here in regional Queensland.
