On this episode, Dr Robert Brüll, founder and CEO of FibreCoat, joins the show to discuss their strategic partnership with Lofith Composites to develop next-generation thermoplastic composites for space.
This partnership joins FibreCoat’s expertise in fibre coatings with Lofith’s thermoplastic tape and composite manufacturing. Together, the companies will integrate FibreCoat’s coated fibres into Lofith’s recyclable, high-performance composites to produce lightweight structural materials designed to meet the extreme demands of space.
The first orbital demonstration of the joint material is planned for 2026, when a satellite will carry test panels into orbit for 12 months.
