Researchers at Rice University, working with partners at Chungnam National University in South Korea, have developed a ...

“It is extremely important that the construction sector continues to develop innovative ways to combat climate change. Renewable solutions such as renewable Neste RE feedstock for polymers can play a ...

Lightweight yet strong and resistant to corrosion and weathering, carbon fiber–reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are used in aircraft, shipping containers, natural gas storage tanks, wind turbine blades, ...

Researchers at the University of Bath have discovered a renewable, bio-based polymer membrane capable of efficiently ...

Porous carbon materials with good microwave absorption properties were prepared by Friedel-Crafts reaction and high-temperature carbonization using inexpensive coal tar pitch as carbon source. Porous ...

Licocare RBW 360 Vita is recommended for use in polyamide, while RBW 560 Vita is recommended for polyester applications. In PA 6.6 applications, as an example, we have seen cooling cycle reductions of ...

Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...

Where would carbon-based life be without carbon? There are 118 known chemical elements, but carbon is the fourth most abundant and perhaps the most important to human life. Everywhere you look, ...

Spray-coated carbon flower sensors on stretchable substrates detect six biomarkers at sub-nanomolar levels and distinguish ...

A report compiled by international biopolymer expert group nova-Institut GmbH (Hürth, Germany) provides an overview of capacities and production volumes for 17 commercially available bio-based ...
