Inside AVULD: Combining Carbon Fiber, Graphene Oxide and Kevlar Hinges

Reducing ULD weight requires attention to every component—from structural panels to the hinges that connect them. AVULD integrates an aluminum structural framework with graphene-oxide-coated carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer panels, which we refer to as GCFRP. This approach builds on CFRP’s established use in aerospace while incorporating our material and folding-design concepts. For the folding connections, AVULD uses […]
