Researchers Create Structurally Optimised Thermoplastic Buckypaper Composites

Researchers from the USA have created a series of flattened-nanotube reinforced thermoplastic composites, which have been fabricated as a function of buckypaper loading. The researchers incorporated a Parmax polymer resin, to increase and optimise the mechanical strength of these composites.

Sustaining Active Electro-Pneumatic Vibration Systems on Platforms Supported by STACIS ‘Hard- Mount’ Piezoelectric Isolation Systems

The rule of thumb “no active-on-active” states that a machine incorporating active vibration isolation (internally) cannot be mounted on a platform using active vibration control. This rule is incorrect, as it is only applicable to specific types of active vibration isolation systems.

Measuring and Understanding Noise Sources in Vibration Isolation Systems

Three tools are typically used to measure vibrational noise (noise) - a storage Oscilloscope (scope); a vibration sensor (sensor), which is generally a 'seismic grade' accelerometer1; and a two-channel spectrum analyzer with sub-Hertz capability (analyzer).

Monolayer Boron- A Potential 2D Anti-Corrosion Coating

Boron nitride monolayers are fabricated by chemical vapour deposition (CVD), under a low pressure and high temperature. The monolayers are uniform in nature and only have a maximum thickness of 0.45 nm which allows this material to form an atomically thin coating.

The Current State of the Global Semiconductor Market

The global semiconductor market has entered an exciting period. Demand for chip technology is both driving the industry as well as hindering it, with current chip shortages predicted to last for some time. Current trends will likely shape the future of the industry, which is set to continue to show

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.

What Role Will The IoT Play In The Electric Vehicle Industry?

In recent years, the IoT is rapidly being introduced into almost all sectors, but it has particular importance in the EV industry.
