Glasgow University researchers have used 3D printing to add new properties to polyether ether ketone (PEEK) which result in lightweight, impact-resistant plastic-based ‘honeycomb’ structures which can sense when they have been damaged. PEEK’s mechanical properties and resistance to high temperatures and chemicals have made it useful for a wide range of applications in the aerospace, ...
