Quantum Composites R&D and pilot sample production capabilities have and continue to be at the fore front of our materials development activities. Our R&D capabilities range from development work on formulation modifications to meet a given set of application and performance requirements to research work on totally new development projects, partnerships and ground zero raw materials & technology evaluation.

Our development and formulating capabilities & experience include:

• Carbon fiber materials development – QCI continues to be the industry leader and pioneer in carbon fiber compression molding compounds.
• Glass fiber materials
• Hybrid glass and carbon materials
• Different glass fiber lengths – typically 1” but available from ¼” thru 2”
• Hybrid resin systems
• Colors for molded in part appearance
• Low density materials
• Conductive additives and enhancements
• Flame retardant additives
• FST – flame smoke and toxicity properties to meet aerospace cabin 
  interior and other transportation requirements.
• Unidirectional and woven continuous fibers using QCI resin systems for co molding with chopped fiber QCI materials.
• Co molding QCI random chopped materials with prepregs
• Phenolic ESC^TM molding compounds
