Benefits of Polyethylene Butt Fusion Joints for Plastic Pipes

A video clip showing benefits of polyethylene butt fusion joints for platic pipes. The video demonstrate a burst failure testing showing that failure occurs at the pipe wall and not at the joint itself and with tensile testing the polyethylene butt fusion joint can elongate up to 25 times its original diameter. Other advantages of polyethlene pipes such as toughness and abrasion resistance are also demonstrated.

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.
