Reflexive Composites System Featured in High-Performance Composites Magazine

CRG's new reflexive self-healing composite system was featured in the July 2007 issue of High-Performance Composites magazine. The system was exhibited and demonstrated at the June SAMPE exhibition in Baltimore, Maryland.
