12 Demonstration Projects EconCore to Work Collaboratively with DuPont Performance Materials to Produce Strong, High- Temperature Resistant Honeycomb Panels. [Published on: ] Collaborative programs on material development of polymer composites with improved properties (e.g., stiffness, strength, fatigue, environmental resistance, creep, energy management, temperature capability) 12

13 Summary Common goal to enable broader adoption of thermoplastic composites. No one material fits the needs of all applications. Industry challenges with multimaterial solutions require a collaborative approach. DuPont seeks to work with partners along the value chain to create new solutions for the future.
