13 Reasons Graphene Is a 'Wonder Material'
Graphene has been called a “wonder material” thanks to its many unique properties. Here’s a list of 13 areas where this wonder material is being put to wondrous use.
Automotive Interiors are Driving Upholstery Growth
When purchasing a car, truck or SUV, an increasingly important feature for buyers is the car’s interior. The automotive upholstery market was estimated to be $4.65 billion in 2017. That market is expected to have a compound annual growth rate of 6.6 percent over the next eight years, reaching $7.75 billion by 2025.
Lobed Rotor Compressors for Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles
New compressor technology supports up to 150 kW fuel cell stacks, addressing the needs of gas compression for medium-duty commercial and non-commercial fuel cell electric vehicles.
Hybrid Engines to Merge Fuel Cells, Internal Combustion Technology
Fuel cell and internal combustion technologies are being combined to develop greener hybrid engine applications for electricity generation and transportation.
