Entrepreneurs in Mexico have designed and developed a novel machine which can convert recycled styrofoam into rigid plastic pellets with a 97% conversion rate, which can then be used to manufacture plastic products.
A new manufacturing facility for high performance thermoplastic films was officially opened last week by UK Chancellor George Osborne. Victrex, a world leader in high performance polymer solutions has invested $25 million (£16 million) to increase its capacity to supply APTIV® film, a success story for the company, with good growth in recent years.
Although wonder material graphene is extremely useful in some applications owing to its lightweight and ultra-strong characteristics, it cannot be the solution for all the world’s problems. In that regard, researchers worldwide are in search of new materials having the same level of potential. Graphene expert Mark Hersam at McCormick shows interest in molybdenum disulfide, a transition metal dichalcogenide.
Researchers from the Purdue University stumbled upon a novel technique that uses a pulsing laser to produce synthetic nanodiamond patterns and films from graphite, while trying to analyze a technique to strengthen metals. Their discovery is likely to impact a wide range of applications such as biosensors, computer chips, quantum computing, and fuel cells.
A new generation of pulse selectors makes Jenoptik modulators easier to control and increases their efficiency.
The key feature of the new Pulse Selector IOM is the automatic adjustment of the operating point, which e...
H.C. Starck addresses the rapid growth in furnace production with its high temperature materials and fabricated components engineered for furnace applications.
H.C. Starck’s product portfolio offers solutions f...
The new Genevac Rocket Synergy series sets a new benchmark in sample evaporation versatility through offering automated evaporation of a wide range of sample formats and sizes, from millilitres to tens of litres.
Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have developed a new method for the fast manufacturing of electrode foils which enables the production of lithium-ion batteries at lower costs. The new technology increases the production speed of electrode foils by a factor of three.
Nanyang Technology University (NTU) scientists have developed the next generation of batteries that have a 20-year lifespan and last for 10,000 recharge cycles. These batteries can be rapidly recharged up to 70% of their capacity within a short duration of two minutes.
Researchers, as part of the Co-operative Research Centre into High-performance Manufacturing’s (CICmarGUNE) “InProRet” strategic research project, are collaborating to develop more effective joints with a longer life for joining hybrid and composite metalsthat are required for automotive applications. This would enable production of components with greater value and also aid Basque companies in competing with others in the industry.
