James Cropper at SAMPE 2026 | Advanced Materials for Aerocomposites
At SAMPE 2026, we will showcase how our multifunctional nonwoven materials are supporting the next generation of aerocomposites, enabling improved performance, efficiency and sustainability across aerospace programmes. Designed to meet the requirements of regulated, safety‑critical environments, our materials are trusted by leading manufacturers worldwide.
Our advanced nonwovens enhance composite performance by enabling a high‑quality surface finish while also imparting critical functional benefits, including:
- EMI shielding and electrical conductivity
- Abrasion resistance and fire protection
- Composite toughening and galvanic corrosion mitigation
- Effective adhesive carrier and support solutions
Alongside our established aerospace portfolio, OPTIVEIL™, TECNOFIRE™, SURFACETEC™ and EMITEC™, we will be highlighting UNIMAT™, our latest innovation for aerocomposites. Developed using our proprietary VECTIS™ alignment technology, UNIMAT™ is an aligned nonwoven solution delivering directional mechanical performance, improved processing efficiency and new opportunities to integrate recycled carbon fibre into lightweight, semi‑structural aerospace components.
With deep fibre expertise and novel process capabilities, James Cropper specialises in the design and customisation of nonwoven materials to meet highly specific application requirements. From advanced composites to energy technologies, our materials enhance manufacturability, consistency and in‑service performance, helping customers develop market‑leading products.
