JEC Group launching own TV podcast series
Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris
The ten-minute video broadcast is hosted by Frédéric Reux, Editor in Chief of JEC Composites Magazine. Segments include sports and composites, the History of composites, start-up news, and interviews of expert executives.
The first episode features composites solutions in the building industry from pre-history to future, with Laurent Destouches from Solutions Composites about reconstructing the Paris Notre Dame Catherdral spire, and French pole vaulter Renaud Lavillenie.
The start-up Woodoo gives an insight of ‘augmented wood’, which is used in the automotive and building industries. Finally Ignaas Verpoest, Professor Emeritus at the University of Leuven, and Christophe Binetruy, Composites Specialist at Ecole Centrale de Nantes, will both highlight the use of composites in the building industry.
The second episode highlights composites solutions in the mobility sector with the exclusive interview of Dominique Dubois from Carboman Group/Multiplast presenting the first electric commercial aircraft, and tennis champion Stéphane Houdet, explaining how carbon fibre improved his performance, amongst others.
Reux said: “The goal of the JEC TV Podcasts is to raise awareness of composites to a broader audience that goes beyond the usual experts and engineers that work with them every day. Composites are part of our everyday life and essential in many industries. Their share will grow even more future, especially in the mobility sector where the need for lighter and more resistant materials is growing. We hope this new program will help developing the composites penetration in many industries.
The third episode, scheduled for May, will focus on additive manufacturing.
