As the leader of Heat and Cool technologies for injection molding and composite processing, RocTool is launching a complete new approach for the brands and their suppliers in order to reach a new level of quality for plastic parts: the “High Definition Plastics™”
Using the idea of colorful "grow capsules" in water that blossom into animal-shaped sponges, scientists have created biodegradable polymer grafts. These grafts, when surgically implanted in damaged vertebrae, can grow to the required shape and size in order to fix the spinal column.
A new method to create plastic has been developed by Stanford scientists, using carbon dioxide (CO2) and inedible plant material, such as agricultural waste and grasses. This method could provide a low-carbon substitute to the existing petroleum-based plastic bottles and other items.
Foster Corporation, a leading supplier of polymer solutions for the healthcare industry, introduces ProFlex™ styrene-ethylene butylene-styrene (SEBS) for medical device applications. These polymers offer a low cost alternative to other thermoplastic elastomers with superior elastomeric properties.
Renewable non-food biomass could potentially replace petrochemical raw materials to produce energy sources, useful chemicals, or a vast array of petroleum-based end products such as plastics, lubricants, paints, fertilizers, and vitamin capsules. In recent years, biorefineries which transform non-edible biomass into fuel, heat, power, chemicals, and materials have received a great deal of attention as a sustainable alternative to decreasing the reliance on fossil fuels.
Engineers have created a stretchable and tunable meta-skin that is capable of shielding objects from powerful radar waves.
Cooks are aware of the fact that often lumps are created when powder is dissolved in a liquid, like that witnessed in the case of polenta in water or semolina in milk.
Precision sensor manufacturer Micro-Epsilon UK has launched an inline high speed colour measurement system, which measures the actual colour of the target by identifying their coordinates in the colour space.
A mechanical sponge with enhanced efficiency for clearing oil spills requires an interconnected structure, which allows water to flow through easily. Scientists from the Istituto Italiano di Technologia (IIT), Italy, have discovered the following findings, which have been published in the 2nd March 2016 issue of the Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics.
It has been estimated that 10% of the total energy utilized in buildings across the U.S. can be attributed to window performance, costing building owners around $50 billion every year, yet the increasing cost of retrofitting windows or replacing them with an energy efficient coating seem to be a major hindrance.
