Smithers Rapra Publishing has announced the release of ‘Surface Engineering of Polymeric Biomaterials’.
Biomaterials work in contact with living matter and this gives a number of specific requirements for their s...
Water-shedding surfaces that are robust in harsh environments could have broad applications in many industries including energy, water, transportation, construction and medicine. For example, condensation of water is a crucial part of many industrial processes, and condensers are found in most electric power plants and in desalination plants.
Last year, a team of University of Pennsylvania physicists showed how to undo the “coffee-ring effect,” a commonplace occurrence when drops of liquid with suspended particles dry, leaving a ring-shaped stain at the drop’s edges. Now the team is exploring how those particles stack up as they reach the drop’s edge, and they discovered that different particles make smoother or rougher deposition profiles at the drop edge depending on their shape.
Element Materials Technology announces the launch of Polymer Analysis: Theory and Practice, to be held on February 12th 2013 at the Sheraton Detroit Novi Hotel, Novi, Michigan.

In an advance toward stain-proof, spill-proof clothing, protective garments and other products that shrug off virtually every liquid — from blood and ketchup to concentrated acids — scientists are reporting development of new "superomniphobic" surfaces. Their report on surfaces that display extreme repellency to two families of liquids — Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquids — appears in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
The Hiden HPR-60 mass spectrometer is a research tool conceived specifically for direct analysis of ions, radicals and neutral species in reactive processes, and will be of interest to researchers in the fields of plasma...
The 5th Building Materials Analysis (BMA) Conference will be held in just a few months time, from 18 to 20 March, 2013. The BMA conference provides a focus for all professionals in the field of building materials analysi...
Latex-based technology forms a sizable fraction of natural and synthetic rubber technology and an introduction to the important technologies is beneficial to all practicing technical personnel. A new book from Smithers R...
Self-moving gels can give synthetic materials the ability to "act alive" and mimic primitive biological communication, University of Pittsburgh researchers have found.
In a session devoted to protein aggregation and emerging analytical tools at this year’s PepTalk conference (21-25 Jan 2013, Palm Springs, US), Dr E. Neil Lewis, Chief Technology Officer for Malvern Panalytical, wi...
