It has the color of white gold, but it is hard like quartz glass and at the same time exhibits high elasticity. The smooth surface is free of crystalline structures and makes the material resistant to salts or acids. Individual pieces - for medical implants, for example - can be produced using 3D printing, while larger series - for watch cases, for example - are manufactured using injection molding.
At the North Carolina State University, scientists have come up with an affordable and quicker method for generating hindered amines. Hindered amines are a class of chemicals utilized as building blocks in products varying from pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals to organic light-emitting diodes and detergents.
In a new paper published in Sustainability, scientists from the Research Institute of Industrial Science and Technology in Pohang, Korea have investigated using dissolved iron from industrial processes to promote seaweed growth.
Researchers from the People’s Republic of China have provided a perspective on single-molecule fullerene research, exploring several aspects of research and the materials themselves. Their study has been published in ACS Materials Letters.
In an article recently published in the open-access journal Polymers, researchers discussed the utility of bio-based polymeric substrates on printed hybrid electronics.
A team of researchers from China and the United Kingdom has developed a novel modified molten-salt-based technique for obtaining porous carbon materials from biomass, presenting a more convenient method that can improve the commercial viability of large-scale biomass-based processes. Their paper is currently in the pre-proof stage of publication in Electrochimica Acta.
A new paper has been published in Nanomaterials presenting research into improving the ability of atomic force microscopy (AFM) to image 2D materials at the atomic level.
Considering lithium-oxygen batteries (Li-O2) have a better power density than lithium-ion batteries, they are a popular alternative. A new article in the journal ACS Applied Energy Materials discusses the effects of water on aprotic lithium oxygen batteries, such as the use of membranes for corrosion prevention and variations in cyclic stability.
Ruthenium atoms placed onto a network of copper nanowires may be an important step toward transforming the international ammonia industry that also supports the environment.
In an article recently published in the open-access journal Materials, researchers discussed the design of a real-time automobile corrosion detection and quantification protocol.
