Get ready for the Olympics: LPAC helps understanding how composites have supported athletes in various sports

In the framework of the composites exhibition JEC 2024 in Paris, and with the upcoming Olympic Games, JEC commissioned several researchers to publish a document showing the evolution of composites applications in various disciplines.

As an Olympic city, Lausanne had to be represented! Former LPAC member Helena Teixidó, who recently obtained her PhD from EPFL, was helped by head of LPAC Prof. Véronique Michaud and Prof. Ignaas Verpoest from KU Leuven to write this extremely informational and well-made piece.

The document can be read for free by visiting JEC's website here https://jeckiosk.milibris.com/catalog/. Several upcoming events related to composites such as the ECCM21 conference in Nantes will also display an exhibition based on this research. Don't miss it!
