PFAS in fabric coatings: The risks and the alternative
The use of ‘forever chemicals’ and their inherent risks in industrial thermal applications can be reduced.
Integrated snow chain tech developed jointly by Hyundai and Kia
The technology will transform the process of installing and removing conventional snow chains on tires during the winter months when driver require enhanced traction on snowy roads.
New FPSO repair technique introduced by MODEC, Toray
FPSO and FSO repair services provided by MODEC will now employ the CFRP patch technique for pitting corrosion repair.
Team upcycles leftover cardboard to create foam packaging
The team sought to develop a sturdy but light mailing material alternative to the commonly used molded cushioning materials that are often derived from Styrofoam.
Researchers develop a "methane cleaner" for livestock housing, production plants
The new method promises to potentially remove greenhouse gases from sources such as livestock housing, biogas production plants and wastewater treatment plants to ultimately benefit the climate.
Spray coating protects plasma in fusion reactors
A cold spray coating process has been advanced to stem the escape of hydrogen neutral particles under the hot, harsh conditions typical of fusion reactors.
Prepare for Powder Coating Week 2024
Attendees and exhibitors alike will experience three days filled with all things powder coating.
KYB launches environmentally friendly hydraulic fluid for shock absorbers
The newly developed SustainaLub aims to be a truly environmentally friendly shock absorber hydraulic fluid that eliminates the environmental risks associated with petroleum.
Planting the seeds for nurturing renewable energy sustainability
Researchers are now taking a botanical approach to boost the environmental compatibility and circularity of materials required for wind and solar energy systems.
Antibody-enhanced nasal spray may prevent COVID-19
The nasal drops enhanced with antibodies promise to protect high-risk individuals from variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and, potentially, other infections.
Electropolishing vs passivation: Which is better for critical metal parts?
Electropolishing is the Swiss army knife of metal finishing in that it can eliminate the need for additional metal finishing processes like hand deburring, tumbling, sanding and other mechanical processes.
Revolutionizing automotive manufacturing: The impact of UV-cured acrylic adhesive tapes
Delve into the transformative potential of UV-cured acrylic adhesive tapes and their burgeoning role in shaping the future of automotive manufacturing.
Team develops seaweed-derived hydrogel for wound healing
The seaweed-based hydrogel reportedly achieves physical properties that are different from those of conventional hydrogels, which tend to interfere with the wound healing process by stretching and expanding the wound itself thanks to adhesives.
New device separates oil from water
Capable of removing oil in an energy-saving, cost-effective approach and without using toxic substances, the textile has been incorporated into a floating container.
Heat pump revolution: TE Connectivity's solutions for efficient performance
Explore heat pump innovation for enhanced home comfort and energy efficiency with TE's connector solutions.
Team develops roof tile that regulates temperature by opening, closing louvres on the tile’s surface
A team of researchers from the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) has created a roof tile capable of passively regulating temperature via a wax motor that opens and closes louvres located on the tile’s surface.
Spider silk inspires polymer for connecting biological tissues with electronic devices
Taking inspiration from spider-silk draglines, which shrink in the presence of high humidity or water, the team created a polymer featuring the crystalline properties like those in the silk draglines.
Dual-curing structural adhesives made for electric motors
The adhesive is designed for use in multiple processes, including magnet bonding and magnet stacking in electric motor manufacturing.
Combatting “forever chemicals” with clay
Researchers in Germany are advancing the use of a clay made of bentonite modified with organic substances as a possible PFAS filter.
