X-UAV had a stand at the Beijing expo displaying their new MFM material and showing off the difference between EPO and MFM.

The latest products, MFM (new materials), Comparing EPO and EPP, it is completely changes in technology and function.

Its density is between EPO and EPP, and 2-3 times rigid than the 35 density of EPO, more than 10 times toughness than EPO.

    What do these acronyms stand for? EPO and EPP and MFM? Is this some type of new styrafoam?

    Christiaan, are all of your airframes now made with this material? If so, how long has this been the case?
    Thanks!

    Hi, I have received one plane with the new materials and it looks great and robust.

    @Hans Miller i worked with Airex, and it is not perfect for drones, although it can be used in some applications. 

    @Christiaan van Vollenstee i am also interested in a sample. Is it possible to obtain one?

    Would it be possible to get samples of this material? You don't have to tell me what the material is. I would just like to evaluate the properties.

    Smart money is on something like this.

    @Gary

    We have strong confidence on this new material. Comparing EPO and EPP,it is completely changes in technology and function. Its density is between EPO and EPP, 

    and 2-3times Rigid than the 35 density of EPO, more than 10 times toughness than EPO. 

    In order to avoid copy, especially in China. Sorry, we want to keep the name secret. it’s unique products on X-UAV, Pls understand.

    We own this materials, foam factory, this is our patent materials. We can accept DIY project from customers, provide design or we design, both ok. Not only airplane, but also other products. Need so see the structure.

    Hi Greg,

    The XUAV link I have above works fine for me when I click on it, so maybe it is location specific.

    On the other hand, the video link you provided never actually plays the video, it plays an advertisement video then locks up loading the MFM video eventually it loads it but will not play it.

    I can see a few individual slides at the bottom which show (MFM?) being bent and twisted and then returning to flat.

    Interesting stuff, just can't get it. 

  • Greg Dronsky May 7, 2015 at 3:24pm

    This is really interesting.
