HEADLINES ARCHIVE
Team creates environmentally friendly adhesive polymer
To create the adhesive polymer, the team used an electrophilic stabilizer to prevent a specific fatty acid from depolymerizing, which, in turn, enabled its use as an adhesive.
New chalk-based fabric keeps things cool
The team developed a mineral-polymer coating comprised of calcium carbonate particles, which reflects visible and near-infrared light, while particles of barium sulfate reflect UV light.
Corrugated wall coverings promise to passively cool buildings
To reach this conclusion, the team added corrugated siding to a small test building, which reportedly lowered the temperatures of the wall.
Yokogawa to release lightweight, energy efficient OpreX Battery Web Gauge ES-5 for production of battery electrode sheets
The system monitors and controls the quality of thickness in the electrode manufacturing of rechargeable batteries such as lithium-ion batteries.
A sustainable alternative to lithium batteries
The world's first 18650 potassium-ion battery represents a sustainable and cost-efficient alternative to the widely used lithium-ion battery chemistry.
Join ZERUST at IMTS 2024: Presentation on dual action cleaning and rust prevention
Learn how these products combine cleaning and rust prevention to streamline operations and enhance efficiency.
Electric bandage expedites wound healing
The team created WPEDs, which are disposable wound dressings featuring electrodes on one side and a small, biocompatible battery, which is composed of a magnesium anode and a silver/silver chloride cathode with a dry cellulose separator impregnated with sodium chloride, on the other side.
Team develops lignin-derived coating for protective gloves
The new coating offers abrasion resistance, and is both waterproof and resistant to chemicals and oil. Its developers suggest that the coating even protects against cuts and punctures.
New saliva test detects heart failure at home in mere minutes
The eCaDI device is comprised of five layers — three layers of transparent, flexible plastic, combined with layers of double-sided adhesive.
New wildfire-shielding gel promises to protect homes
When introduced to the heat of a wildfire, the water in the gel will evaporate and the cellulose will burn away, leaving behind a silica-based aerogel with excellent insulation properties.
A path to fully recyclable lithium batteries
Prospects for fully recycling all components of rechargeable solid-state lithium batteries improve with a reconfigured device design developed at Pennsylvania State University.
