IMDEA Materials will contribute to the consortium by carrying out research aiming to improve the mechanical behavior at high temperature and high strain rate (shock conditions) of currently used cast and forged Mg alloys, by optimising casting processes and by developing novel Mg alloys with enhanced mechanical performance.
Data theft or "skimming" from smart cards and e-passports will
be harder from documents kept in a new 3M
product. 3M ToughShield brand Protective Sleeves offer reliable, durable data
protection for RFID-enabled devices.
Growing concerns about health and safety risks and increasingly high costs of metal in fluid handling systems are prompting the use of plastic pipes, faucets, valves, boilers and other components. Plastics offer the pote...
Engineers from Cummins Filtration, the leader in filtration, exhaust, coolant and chemical technology for all engine-powered systems, recently received the prestigious Diploma of Recognition from the International Federa...
Lubricants in bearings and gear units ensure that not too much energy is lost through friction. Yet it still takes a certain percentage of the energy to compensate for friction losses. Lubricants made of liquid crystals could reduce friction to almost zero.
That could mean titanium joints, which can resist corrosion for the lifetime of a patient, could be affordable enough to replace stainless steel joints, which are commonly used today but can corrode after five years. And that could save patients the additional surgeries required to replace failing artificial joints.
As well as exhibiting at this year’s Drug Delivery to the Lungs conference
(DDL 19, 10-12 December 2008, Edinburgh, Scotland), Malvern
Instruments will participate in the scientific poster sessions. Here the
company will present two new studies demonstrating the application of the Morphologi
G3 and Spraytec particle characterization systems to different aspects of inhaled
product testing.
The Timken Company today announced that its new joint venture, Timken XEMC (Hunan) Bearings Co., Ltd., broke ground on a new wind energy plant to be built in China. Xiangtan Electric Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (XEMC) is the...
Whilst the ageing of humans has been a popular point of discussion for many
years we are now looking at the world around us to assess the damage that ageing
can cause. Ageing of composites from Woodhead
Publishing addresses many of the uncertainties about the long-term performance
of composites, an important issue due to the increased use of composites in
structural applications.
Bio-degradable materials are on the increase as a direct response to heightened
awareness of environmental issues. Plant-based natural fiber reinforced polymer
composites are an illustration of this, replacing conventional materials used
in applications such as automobiles. Tribology of natural fiber polymer composites
from Woodhead Publishing
examines the availability and processing of natural fiber polymer composites
and their structural, mechanical and tribological properties.
