Composites: Pushing the Limits of Performance & Sustainability   Composites are transforming industries by offering lighter, stronger, and more durable solutions compared to traditional materials. Their unique properties—such as high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and design flexibility—make them essential in aerospace, automotive, energy, and infrastructure.   But how do we ensure composites meet performance demands? Advanced testing methods like tensile, compression, shear, fatigue, and high strain-rate testing are crucial for evaluating material behavior under real-world conditions. These tests help manufacturers develop more reliable and damage-tolerant composites, ensuring safety and efficiency in critical applications.   As the industry moves toward sustainability and circular economy solutions, composite innovation is playing a key role in reducing emissions and improving energy efficiency. The future is about smarter, stronger, and more responsible materials—and we’re excited to be part of it.   🚀 Join us at #JECWorld 2025, where we’ll explore the next era of composite innovation!   #Composites #Innovation #Sustainability #AdvancedMaterials #Manufacturing #JECWorld2025

Cybersecurity and Medical Devices 🔐   The European Commission’s latest Action Plan on cybersecurity for hospitals and healthcare providers raises a key question: Are we ready to secure connected medical devices? While the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) currently excludes medical devices under EU MDR, alignment is on the horizon. Plus, NIS2 is tightening cybersecurity obligations for healthcare.   At Applus+ Laboratories, we believe cybersecurity should be a core pillar of medical device certification. With the FDA already enforcing stricter rules, Europe is following suit.   ✅ Proactive CRA-based testing to anticipate future regulations ✅ Integrated compliance packages for CRA, MDR & FDA ✅ Future-proof security assessments for patient safety & market trust   Cybersecurity isn’t optional — it’s essential. Let’s prepare together.    You can read more here: https://lnkd.in/dVEFeBQ6   #ApplusLaboratories #Cybersecurity #MedicalDevices #Applus #PCIMPoC #Healthcare
