Shape memory Zirconia ceramics (SMCs) has many potential applications in energy storage and energy damping because of its unique shape memory and superelasticity properties - i.e. the ability to change its shape upon loading and fully recover after unloading or heating. In this work, the monodisperse Zirconia ceramic particles with excellent shape memory and superelastic properties have been synthesized by a sol-gel processing method and assembled into a 3D architecture. Iterative processing of the SMC particles and 3D SMC architectures were successfully completed by fine tuning the sol-gel processing conditions and assembly conditions respectively. The obtained sol-gel derived SMC particles were extensively characterized by XRD, FESEM and in-situ micro-compression. Our results show that the monodisperse particles with average diameters of 3 µm can be synthesized by having optimized parameter conditions where acid concentration was 0.075 M and water concentration is 0.6 M, inclusive of a 18 mol%-20 mol% Ceria (Cerium IV Oxide). Apart from having large particles, the monodispersity in the size distribution of the particles was significantly dependent on acid and water concentrations. Tetragonal phase can be stabilized at room temperatures in these micro-scale Zirconia single particles which was essential for stress-induced martensitic transformation upon applied loadings. The single particles exhibit excellent shape memory properties (Shape Memory Effect, SME) with up to 80% recoverable shear strains.
3D SMC architectures have been assembled by utilizing the optimized synthesis parameters producing as-sintered sol-gel powders and also additional spray dried powders which have an average particle size between 5 to 20 µm. Multi-cycle uniaxial compressions of the 3D SMC architectures show that higher porosity (i.e. a less-densely packed powder compact) resulted in higher energy dissipation. Finally, overall optimization of the processing protocols towards the ceramic bodies with enhanced energy damping capacity have been achieved. | materials_science |

However, because of their characteristics, metal shingles may not be the most suitable solution for those looking for safe, durable and cost-effective residential coverage.
Get to know the metal roof tile options available on the market and better understand the pros and cons of each one! Contact CCXteriors serving Pocatello, ID to see if metal tiles work for you!
Types of Metal Tiles
- Conventional corrugated
Available in the market with thicknesses ranging from 0.4 to 0.7 mm, conventional corrugated metal tile is most often used in small roofs with smaller spans.
Occasionally, the material can be used for arched roofs, but in this case, they require special attention to ensure the safety of the work and the durability of the roof.
One of the biggest disadvantages of this type of material is related to the lack of acoustic comfort. As smaller spaces generally do not have sound insulation, noise on days of heavy rain or hail can be quite uncomfortable.
Another disadvantage of this type of tile is its low durability, as the material is subject to kneading, which can lead to constant maintenance. In addition, the finishes used in the assembly of the metal structure can also rust if not specially treated, which increases the total cost of the project.
- Conventional trapezoidal
One of the most common metal roof tile models, trapezoidal conventional tile is most often used in commercial and industrial buildings, although it can be seen in residential real estate.
Available in the market in a wide range of dimensions and thicknesses, conventional trapezoidal metal tile can also be used for side closures of industrial designs.
Additionally, this type of metal tiles can be obtained in factory painted versions, which increases its resistance to both ultraviolet and weathering action, as well as offering better aesthetic performance.
In addition, both trapezoidal and corrugated tile can undergo a galvanizing or zinc plating process to protect the material from corrosion.
One of the biggest disadvantages of this type of tile is that, because it is heavier, it requires a more robust structure to support its weight, which increases construction costs.
- Trapezoidal self-supporting
This tile model is most commonly used in large-span constructions, as it does not require a metal frame along these spaces.
Due to these characteristics, trapezoidal self-supporting metal tiles are most commonly used in large buildings such as industries, warehouses, and distribution centers.
Although it is easy to install, the thin thickness of this type of metal tile makes the material more subject to the instability of various natures, which reduces the safety of the project and can increase the maintenance costs of the roof.
The lining metal tile is so named because it is made up of three layers – one of trapezoidal metal tiles, one of polyurethane foam injections and a third of PVC coating – which makes it look similar to that of a lining.
This is also the reason why this type of material offers good thermal and acoustic comfort but has less resistance than other tile models, which increases the chances of deformation and, consequently, leakage and infiltration.
- Thermoacoustic Tile or sandwich
Quite similar to the ceiling tile, as it also has three layers, the thermoacoustic tile, also called sandwich tile, has an expanded polystyrene (EPS) layer that is pressed between two other layers of metallic trapezoidal tile.
While offering good thermal and acoustic comfort, sandwich tile requires a high investment compared to other roof covering solutions.
- Zipped Metal Tiles
Zippered metal tiles have as their main feature the large dimensions – it is possible to find, for example, single pieces of 60 or up to 120 m in length – with a mechanical seam between the profiles, which allows the continuous installation without the use of fasteners, such as screws and connecting tapes.
For this reason, they are most often used in large roofs with low inclination. However, due to their dimensions, they require considerable space on the site to be profiled. In addition, they increase labor costs, as the handling and installation of parts of this size require a larger staff.
- Roll-on Metallic Tiles
In this type of roofing, coils of metal shingles are used. Along with that, zincalume, galvanized or pre-painted are unrolled over a set of trusses. This roofing solution reduces the chances of leaks and leaks, as the tiles have the full length of the design and do not need seams, holes, and overlaps.
Due to its specific characteristics and the high cost of the material, this option is not usually used in large buildings such as shopping malls, industries, and distribution warehouses. | materials_science |

Minor imperfections can damage your confidence. Chips, cracks, discolouration, thinning enamel, gaps and crooked teeth can make it difficult for you to smile with confidence.
Composite bonding is a revolutionary new treatment that can fix minor imperfections in just one visit. Instead of creating a porcelain crown or veneer, the material is applied directly to the teeth and shaped. This also means minimal preparation of the underlying tooth structure.
What is composite bonding?
Composite Bonding is when a white filling material is bonded to the enamel of your tooth to repair chips or to improve the shade and shape or even to close small spaces between teeth. Unlike porcelain veneers, which are manufactured in a laboratory and require your dentist to drill away some healthy tooth structure, composites can be applied in one visit with no tooth removal.
what are the main benefits of composite?
- Composite bonding is minimally invasive (minimal amount of healthy tooth reduction is required)
- Immediate results – Composite bonding can often be accomplished in one visit.
- Easily repairable and usually reversible.
- Beautiful tooth like appearance
- Often does not even require an injection.
Am I a candidate for composite bonding?
Most people are candidates for this procedure. One of the main stumbling blocks however is the bite. If there is a heavy biting contact on a tooth that has had composite bonding, it may fracture off.
Is composite bonding painful?
Not at all. Bonding is painless and often performed without the use of an anaesthetic since very little tooth removal is necessary.
Are composites natural looking?
Yes. Composite bonding is one of the most natural-looking cosmetic dental restorations if done properly. However, porcelain can sometimes be slightly better.
Does composite stain or discolor?
In time composites can stain. At Devonshire Dental Care we use Venus Pearl which is a very stain resistant composite if polished correctly. Even so you may require the composite to be buffed every few years or a new layer of composite added to replenish its gloss finish.
Does a bonded tooth require extra care?
Yes. In order to prevent fracture, it is advisable to avoid biting into hard objects such as ice cubes and hard sweets. Fingernail biting should also be avoided.
how long does composite last?
Good oral hygiene can improve the lifespan of your composite bonding. If you have good oral hygiene you may expect more than 2 years from a composite before it needs to be replenished.
Is composite bonding expensive?
Composite bonding is generally the least expensive of all cosmetic dental procedures. At Devonshire Dental Care our composites bonding options start at £210 per tooth.
How much time does composite bonding require?
Most bonding procedures can be completed in one visit resulting instantly in a beautiful smile. The length of the visit varies according to the procedure.
Who should consider composite bonding?
People of all ages can benefit by the cosmetic technique of bonding. Children, adolescents and adults can improve their smiles and appearance with composite bonding. Be sure to ask your dentist about how composite can benefit your smile.
How does composite bonding work?
Composite bonding uses a resin material, similar to that used in white fillings. Your teeth are prepared to allow the composite material to bond to your teeth. The composite resin is then carefully colour matched to the surrounding teeth.
The material is applied directly to the tooth, shaped and then hardened with a UV light. You can leave the practice with a dramatically different smile the same day, with no need to wait for crowns or veneers. You can have composite bonding applied to a single tooth or multiple teeth to create subtle but impactful changes to your smile.
What can composite bonding fix?
Composite bonding is ideally used for minor imperfections. This can include chips, cracks and uneven edges. It can also change the shape of a tooth, making it appear straighter, which can be a great alternative to veneers. Composite bonding can close gaps in your smile, which makes it an excellent alternative to braces.
In cases of thinning enamel, the ends of your teeth might appear darker and have jagged edges. Composite bonding will not only help to improve the appearance of thinning enamel, but it will also help to protect the underlying structure. And finally, composite bonding can also make your teeth appear whiter. This is ideal if you are unable to whiten your teeth with traditional teeth whitening.
Do you offer composite veneers?
By applying composite bonding to multiple teeth, it’s possible to create the illusion of a veneer, without the need to prepare the underlying tooth structure. If you are on a budget, this type of treatment can be a welcome alternative to porcelain veneers.
The benefit of a composite veneer is that it isn’t permanent. The composite material will wear down over time, which will give you the opportunity to decide if you would like to invest in veneers or reapply the composite bonding treatment. | materials_science |

RECOUP has released an update of its Household Plastic Packaging Sorting and Infrastructure Report, which aims to inform and provide context around the design of a new tax on the production and import of all plastic packaging that doesn’t include at least 30% recycled content.
The report highlights how the UK’s infrastructure to sort plastic packaging to the required quality and reprocess this material needs to increase in order to handle the additional demands created by both the recycled content target and also to service ambitious commitments by brand leaders to increase circular and environmentally sustainable manufacturing.
Reforming and delivering a well-designed Packaging Producer Responsibility System in the UK is essential to deliver the infrastructure to meet a recycled content target
With the Treasury set to implement the Plastic Packaging Tax, which is currently in its second round of consultations, in April 2022, there is a level of urgency to understand the impact of this and how this recycled content target can be achieved.
Currently, RECOUP report that sorting capacities at Material Recycling Facilities (MRFs) and Plastic Recovery Facilities (PRFs), by volume at least, is not a barrier to meeting a 30% recycled content target.
The UK has an estimated annual permitted MRF capacity of between 1.6 and 1.9 million tonnes for sorting plastic packaging, and an estimated actual throughput of up to 1,000,000 tonnes.
However, research found there are significant shortfalls in reprocessing capacity, with an estimated current operational output of 230,000 tonnes. There are also particularly challenging commercial conditions and fine profit margins in this sector, with very specific operational and technical challenges around reprocessing plastic film, non-bottle PET and food grade packaging.
Scenarios detailed in the report show the extent of which capacities may be unable to cope with specific changes and requirements. When comparing the reprocessing capacity against 30% recycled content from plastic packaging types placed on the market, there are significant shortfalls.
The research conducted by RECOUP in producing the Infrastructure Report highlights the need for the UK to shift towards more domestic recycling in the UK…
These scenarios suggest that the UK’s reprocessing capacity may need to increase by 100% to meet 30% recycled content in all household plastic packaging placed on the market, and by over 200% to meet that target for food grade rigid household plastic packaging.
Steve Morgan, Policy & Infrastructure Manager at RECOUP, said: “The research conducted by RECOUP in producing the Infrastructure Report highlights the need for the UK to shift towards more domestic recycling in the UK, in order for the industry to be able to cope with the increasing demands for high-quality recycled plastic.
“Reforming and delivering a well-designed Packaging Producer Responsibility System in the UK is essential to deliver the infrastructure to meet a recycled content target.
“This would provide the underpinning foundations to ensure the necessary investment and confidence are in place for a sustainable business model to build and maintain the required recycling infrastructure for plastic packaging.” | materials_science |

What’s involved in metal recycling?
Metal recycling has a long history. As early as WWII there were efforts to collectively save and reprocess metals to aid the war effort. Part of the reason for this interest is the ease of magnetically sorting steel and iron (ferrous metals). Modern recycling equipment can identify many kinds of metals, although more complex technology is required to separate non-ferrous metals.
Basic metal sorting involves separating ferrous from non-ferrous metals. Ferrous metals contain iron, and are attracted by magnets. This allows iron and steel to be pulled from a waste stream easily. Large pieces of scrap can be moved by cranes fitted with an electromagnet. This type of machinery is most often seen at automotive salvage yards.
Mixed or partially sorted waste streams contain easily identified fractions of ferrous metals and aluminum. When an electric current is induced across the materials, metals are affected, and any non-metal contaminants are not. This is known as eddy current separation. Most materials recovery facilities now use this type of metal recycling equipment. Even though aluminum is not magnetic, eddy currents can levitate it, allowing plastics to drop out of the process, and the aluminum to be removed.
Because of the value of copper, lead, gold, silver, platinum and palladium, if enough scrap can be collected, it becomes economically viable to recover precious metals from electronic waste. This process requires more technologically advanced metal recycling equipment. The use of sensors to identify metals through x-ray and infra-red scanning is becoming more common in large facilities.
Large-scale metal recycling of mixed materials is accomplished best by pre-shredding the items to reduce the size of the pieces. This increases surface area, and helps isolate smaller fractions.

None of our catalogues, the big general book nor any of the specials are printed direct from the type; all are printed from electro plates, and this is the manufacturing department which produces them. After the type has been set and the managers have read the text carefully and approved it, the page of type an,d illustrations is sent to this department where it is molded in wax. This wax mold is hung in a bath of chemicals charged with a current of electricity and a very thin film of copper is deposited over the face of the mold. This film of copper is then placed in a casting box where molten metal is poured over it and then trimmed. and planed just type high, completing the electrotyping operation. The hard copper face of the electrotype plate gives it great wear resisting properties and it is in this particular that it is more desirable for printing purposes than type itself. No rotary printing press such as we use will print from type, so that electrotypes are necessary. After the electrotype has been finished in the manner outlined above, it is run through a bending machine which gives it a semi-circular form. and the electrotype so bent is then fastened to the revolving cylinder of the rotary press. This process has made possible the wonderful advancement in the printing art and the production of the highest class magazines at a mere fraction of their cost twenty-five years ago. | materials_science |

Making a stoneware pottery bowl is a fun and rewarding experience. It requires patience, skill, and a bit of creativity. With the right tools and materials, anyone can make a beautiful bowl that will last for years.
The first step in making a stoneware pottery bowl is to gather the necessary materials. You will need a pottery wheel, clay, a sponge, a rib, a wire tool, a knife, and a kiln. The clay should be a stoneware clay, which is a type of clay that is fired at a higher temperature than other types of clay. It is also important to have a work surface that is large enough to accommodate the size of the bowl you are making.
Preparing the Clay
Once you have all of the materials, you can begin to prepare the clay. Start by kneading the clay until it is soft and pliable. This will help to ensure that the clay is easy to work with. Once the clay is ready, you can begin to shape it into a ball. This will be the base of your bowl.
Creating the Bowl
Now that you have the clay ball, you can begin to shape it into a bowl. Start by placing the clay ball on the pottery wheel. Use the wheel to spin the clay and shape it into a bowl. You can use the rib to help shape the sides of the bowl. Once the bowl is the desired shape, use the wire tool to trim off any excess clay.
Firing the Bowl
Once the bowl is shaped, it is time to fire it. Place the bowl in the kiln and set the temperature to the desired level. The firing process can take several hours, so it is important to be patient. Once the firing is complete, the bowl will be ready to use.
Finishing the Bowl
The final step in making a stoneware pottery bowl is to finish it. This can be done by glazing the bowl or by adding a decorative finish. Glazing the bowl will help to protect it from moisture and give it a glossy finish. If you choose to add a decorative finish, you can use a variety of techniques such as painting, staining, or etching.
What type of clay should I use?
The best type of clay to use for making a stoneware pottery bowl is a stoneware clay. This type of clay is fired at a higher temperature than other types of clay and is more durable.
How long does it take to fire a bowl?
The firing process can take several hours, depending on the size of the bowl and the temperature of the kiln. It is important to be patient and allow the bowl to fire completely before removing it from the kiln.
Can I add a decorative finish to my bowl?
Yes, you can add a decorative finish to your bowl. This can be done by glazing the bowl or by adding a decorative finish such as painting, staining, or etching. | materials_science |

In fact, the first element that distinguishes GURU's home-grown composites program is that no two carbon frames we produce are alike. We make each one from scratch – we're the only ones who do it all in-house – according to individual cyclist specifications. Based on this singular approach, we have developed a series of innovative methods that redefine the limits of carbon manufacturing to deliver superior performance:
Rigorous F.E.A. modelling results in optimal layup configurations and shapes that fully capitalize on the tensile strength of carbon fiber.
Alternative lay-up options allow for optimization of ride quality and durability based on rider size and power output.
High-modulus carbon composition features an exceptional 70/30 fiber-to-resin ratio (far superior to the industry norm). Maximum carbon fiber results in optimal stiffness and greater dampening of high-frequency vibrations; minimum resin means less weight.
Unique, internally pressurized bladder molding results in a true monocoque carbon construction with no seams or voids. Carbon fibers are thus permitted to cross-link in an optimal, multi-layered manner.
Use of unidirectional fiber allows for a pinpointed carbon layup, avoiding the ride-compromising "overbuild" that is common in the industry.
Meticulous part machining produces a tapered inner profile that generates a more fluid transmission of loads and eliminates stress risers. | materials_science |

The process of making bamboo bottles involves several steps, each contributing to their uniqueness and eco-friendliness.
1. Sourcing High-Quality Bamboo
The first step in bamboo bottle production is sourcing high-quality bamboo. Mature bamboo stalks are selected, ensuring they are sustainably harvested to maintain a healthy ecosystem.
2. Cutting and Treating Bamboo
Once the bamboo stalks are harvested, they are carefully cut into sections of the desired bottle size. The sections are then treated to remove impurities and ensure the bamboo's longevity.
3. Hollowing Out the Bamboo
The next stage involves hollowing out the treated bamboo sections. Skilled artisans use precision tools to create the bottle's inner cavity, leaving enough thickness to maintain the bottle's strength.
4. Inserting the Leak-Proof Lining
To prevent leakage, a food-grade stainless steel or glass lining is inserted into the hollowed-out bamboo section. This lining ensures the bottle remains watertight while maintaining the natural bamboo aesthetic.
5. Smoothening and Polishing
After the lining is inserted, the bamboo bottle undergoes a meticulous smoothening and polishing process. This enhances its appearance, making it smooth to touch while preserving the natural grain patterns of the bamboo.
6. Adding the Lid and Seal
The bottle's lid, often made of bamboo or BPA-free plastic, is added along with a leak-proof seal. This combination ensures the bottle remains tightly sealed, preventing any spills.
7. Quality Testing
Before the bottles are ready for market, each one undergoes rigorous quality testing. This ensures that they meet high standards for durability, safety, and leak resistance.
8. Optional Insulation
Some bamboo bottles offer insulation options, where an additional layer of stainless steel or glass is added to keep beverages hot or cold for extended periods.
Bamboo bottles offer numerous advantages that make them an appealing choice for eco-conscious consumers:

- Sherri Mandell
Seth and I recently had dinner with a friend named Lee Lasher. Lee's company, Amlon Resources, trades recycled metals extracted from industrial waste.
For example, the company recycles molybdenum, a metal with very high strength at high temperatures. Lee's company buys the extracted metal in North America and ships it to Asia where it is used to reinforce steel alloys. Lee's company also recycles other metals including nickel, vanadium, and cobalt for international use.
What Lee is doing is really a form of global alchemy, taking waste, what would normally be buried, and turning it into something valuable.
People sometimes say to me: "Your son's murder was such a waste."
But we refuse that definition. We won't allow it to be a waste. There is something valuable waiting even in tragedy if we are willing to extract it.
Sometimes the rare and valuable metals Lee extracts are a millionth of a percentage point of the original waste material.
It is sometimes almost impossible to find the tiny points of good hiding in unspeakable acts of evil. But extracting that goodness, turning cruelty into kindness, is the secret of our humanity.

More about IWC:
The IWC reference 3705 Fliegerchronograph was the brand’s first ceramic chronograph. As seen with the IWC Aquatimer GST, IWC pioneered the use of alternative materials for case production. Today, the use of materials like titanium and ceramic are widespread, but at the time of their initial release, the use of these materials was incredibly innovative.
The ref. 3705 was launched in 1994 and only produced for three years. Less than 1000 examples were produced in total due to the high cost of making ceramic cases – 50% higher cost than that of a stainless steel example.
Despite the high cost, the use of zirconium oxide (commonly known as ceramic) in watch cases was appealing to IWC because it was extremely hard yet lightweight, and could be fused with other elements to provide additional hardness and scratch resistance. Ceramic is formed when a powder, a binder, and a liquid are combined and heated to temperatures over 1000 degrees Celsius. Unlike metals, ceramic pieces shrink by about a third after they are fired. Consequently, to use ceramic for something like a watch case, the measurements have to be extremely precise and the loss in size has to be factored in from the start.
The present watch is in mint condition and is an excellent opportunity for a watch aficionado to acquire an incredibly innovative watch model. While it was not produced as a limited edition watch, production of this model was extremely limited, making it hard to come by and extremely desirable. | materials_science |

In recent years, ceramic pipes have gained popularity among smokers for their unique aesthetic appeal and smooth smoking experience.
Ceramic pipes are created by shaping clay into desired shapes and designs, firing them in a kiln at high temperatures to harden the material. The result is a durable and heat-resistant pipe that can be used repeatedly. What sets ceramic pipes apart from other smoking options is the opportunity for creativity in their design. From intricate patterns to vibrant colors, each piece is truly one-of-a-kind.
But what makes ceramic pipes so desirable? The answer lies in the artistry involved in creating these pieces.
Firstly, let’s talk about aesthetics. Ceramic pipes offer a wide range of design possibilities that other materials cannot match. Artists can mold clay into any shape or size they desire, allowing them to create unique patterns and textures on their pieces using various techniques such as carving or painting.
Moreover, unlike metal or glass pipes which are typically mass-produced, each ceramic pipe is handcrafted by skilled artisans who pour their heart into every piece they create. This results in an exquisite display of artistry that cannot be replicated by machines.
Aside from aesthetics, another advantage of using ceramic as a material for smoking devices is its properties that enhance the user’s overall experience. For example, unlike metal or glass which conduct heat quickly and may cause discomfort while holding onto during prolonged use; ceramics retain heat much better while remaining cool to touch on the exterior.
Additionally, due to its porous nature compared to metals or glass materials commonly used to make smoking devices; ceramics provide an excellent filtration system that allows for smoother hits while keeping harmful components from reaching your mouth- resulting in an enjoyable smoke session every time.
Apart from traditional clay-based ceramics made with kaolin (a type of naturally occurring white clay) other variants of ceramic pipes utilize the use of porcelain, stoneware and earthenware- each of which possesses its unique properties that enhance the overall smoking experience.
But ceramic pipes are not just about beauty and functionality; they also hold significance in terms of cultural heritage. Many cultures around the world have long-standing traditions of creating ceramic pipes, often with intricate designs that reflect their beliefs and customs. For example, Native American tribes would create pipes with symbolic motifs representing their spiritual beliefs.
Today, contemporary artists continue to push the boundaries with their unique styles and designs, incorporating modern techniques while still honoring traditional methods. This fusion results in an unparalleled display of artistry that attracts both smokers and collectors alike.
In conclusion, ceramic pipes are not just smoking devices; they are a form of art. The skill and creativity involved in crafting these pieces make them stand out from other options on the market. With their unique aesthetics, enhanced smoking experience, cultural significance, and endless design possibilities; it’s no wonder why ceramic pipes have captured the hearts and minds of smokers worldwide. | materials_science |

For those homeowners who prefer the option of environmentally friendly products, wood flooring provides a sustainable resource, while imparting grand style and durability. When shopping for ideas, consider sustainable flooring in your interior design in Southlake, TX.
Sustainable flooring is produced from renewable materials through an environmentally friendly process. In addition, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America recommends those with allergies to dust or other particulates select flooring with smooth surfaces such as hardwood, linoleum, tile or slate.
Wood floors add natural warmth and color to your home's interior design in Southlake, TX. In addition, wood flooring is practical and easy to clean, an advantage for persons with allergies. Depending on the type of timber you pick, wood provides an environmentally responsible flooring option. Trees are a renewable resource, and are considered a sustainable product when the timber is plantation grown, as opposed to timber harvested out of native forestry.
Trees absorb carbon as they grow, and it remains stored in wood flooring, rather than being released into the atmosphere. At the end of its useful life as flooring, wood flooring can be repurposed as reclaimed wood, ensuring the carbon stays locked inside.
Bamboo flooring is considered an ideal example of sustainable flooring, and is a popular option with interior design in Southlake, TX. The product is manufactured from fast-growing renewable wood, although bamboo is in fact considered a grass, and grows to maturity in just 3-5 years.
When it comes to carbon isolation, bamboo is nature's workhorse. It stores up to 70% more carbon a year than hardwoods. In addition, when bamboo is harvested the root system is left intact in the soil, providing new growth. Bamboo is strong, extremely durable, and is resistant to insects and the moisture of humid environments.
Look for bamboo products and systems available that don't use urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins, which emit volatile organic compounds (VOC).
Reclaimed wood is sourced from decommissioned homes, buildings, barns and other structures. The lumber is from old growth trees containing a tight grain pattern, and occasionally displays character features such as nail holes.
Dredge Wood is sourced from old-growth timber that has been submerged in rivers for 100-150 years, and the selected wood is typically 150 year old tree growth. It features a tight grain pattern and uncommon patina due to submersion without degradation of the wood.
Reclaimed wood can impart a rustic or a historic atmosphere in your home's interior design in Southlake, TX.
Cork tiles or planks are harvested from the bark of the cork oak without harm to the living tree. It is a highly renewable and sustainable flooring resource. Once the cork tree reaches 25 years of age, cork is harvested approximately once every 10 years. The tree can live for up to 200 years.
An additional benefit of cork flooring is that it contains a waxy substance used in nature to regulate water supply to the tree. This substance provides cork flooring with fire retardant, antimicrobial, anti-fungal and antibacterial properties.
Cork offers a number of exceptional benefits for flooring performance. It has superb insulation properties against both noise and heat loss, and is a warm, comfortable walking surface. It is resilient to imprints and copes well with furniture placement and heavy foot traffic. However, cork will absorb moisture and should not be used in bathrooms. Ensure you select a low VOC sealant.
Cork flooring is a popular choice for interior design in Southlake, TX of modern kitchens.
True linoleum flooring is manufactured from 100% renewable sources and is 100% biodegradable. It is manufactured with dried and milled flax seeds (linseed oil), wood flour, ground cork and pine resin, with a jute, burlap, or canvas backing. It is fire-resistant and anti-static, a combination that makes it ideal for those with allergies. In addition, as the decorative pigments are embedded in its structure, it doesn't fade. When opting for linoleum, ensure it is the true product and not PVC flooring with less environmentally friendly plasticizers.
Coconut palms grow rapidly, with harvest for flooring from 60-80 year old plants incapable of producing fruit. It is a hardwood with a close grain. It is cheaper than teak, and as hard as mahogany. Coconut flooring has an attractive striped appearance and provides properties similar to hardwood. Coconut flooring is available in its natural color, or the option of further processing, which results in darker stripes for interior design in Southlake, TX that requires a more exotic appearance.
Sustainable flooring offers a number of options for your home. Our skilled interior designers can assist you with flooring or color selection for your custom designed home.

Glass fibre reinforced epoxy or polyester resin systems with particular additives and a unique structure are used to make our offered fasteners. Explore our website to discover our diverse range of other FRP products.
FRP fasteners have the following advantages over steel fastening:
- a lot lighter
- Insulating both electrically and thermally
- Durable and Corrosion resistant
- Defiant in the face of adversity
Properties of FRP Fasteners
- ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES: FRP fasteners are non-magnetic and electrically insulating. Furthermore, partial discharge is free to large electric field strengths and is particularly non-tracking. They’re great for transformers, electrical engineering, high-frequency switching, and electrostatic powder coating.
- CHEMICAL PROPERTIES: FRP fasteners are particularly resistant to strong fluids and gases, as well as transformer oil and dielectric liquids. They are also UV and weather resistant.
- THERMAL PROPERTIES: When compared to steel (15-58 W/mk), frp threaded rods, bolts, and nuts have a very low thermal conductivity of 0.3 W/mk, which puts them on par with mineral wool, which is used as insulation in construction. They’re perfect for use in refrigeration, HVAC, and other applications where thermal bridges are a concern.
- COMPOSITE FASTENERS ARE LIGHTWEIGHT: Composite fasteners have a density of 1.9 t 2 g/cm3 and hence weigh about a quarter of the weight of steel. They’re ideal for applications where weight reduction is critical, such as vehicle construction or the fabrication of wind turbine nacelles.
- HIGH TENSILE STRENGTH: Threaded rods manufactured of thermoplastics, such as polyamide frp, offer a six-fold higher tensile strength than threaded rods made of metal.
Fields of application:
- Flue gas desulphurization plant
- Onshore / offshore engineering
- Chemical plants
- Hydraulic engineering, sewage treatment plants, desalination of seawater
- Transformers, dry-type and oil immersed
- Instrument construction, High-frequency Systems
- Traffic engineering
- Refrigeration and air conditioning
- Cable trays
- Electrostatic powder coating
- Electroplating plants | materials_science |

The sheer durability and versatility of Bild printable flooring will turn the industry on its head... as we change the world beneath your feet!
Bild printable vinyl floor covering, which until recently was known as G-Floor, provides a simple solution to a major challenge in graphic flooring. Most graphic floors are created by placing a thin sheet of protective vinyl over an imaged design and then installing this as a floor. However, the thin layer of vinyl is often not enough to protect the design, causing it to easily become scratched or damaged. As a result, it either needs to be replaced or left looking unsightly.
Normal graphic floors are made with layers of filler that are cheap to produce and can make the floor look great—temporarily. But again, this filler is easily damaged and, once malformed, cannot be easily repaired.
This is why Bild’s printable vinyl floor covering is such a unique product!
Rather than using filler layers of cardboard stock, foam and fibreboard, Bild makes use of a single, solid layer of impervious PVC. This polyvinyl is extruded from raw vinyl materials into a thick, solid sheet of clear protective flooring. The image is then printed to a protected layer that is encased in the polyvinyl blend. As a result, rather than layers of fillers, you get a single piece of material that features the graphic encased in protective coating.
Since the image is embedded in the wear layer, it is impossible to damage, tear, rip, distort, stain, or break. The material is impervious to normal wear and tear and will last the test of time.
While all graphic floor options include a wear layer, none of them can quite match up to Bild's thickness. With the thickest wear-layer in the world of graphic flooring, Bild is the gold-standard of protection for your imaged floors.
Since the Bild material is extruded as a single, solid and clear material, it can be laid as a solid sheet over the graphic. This means that a single flooring sheet can be laid in your area with very few seams and ultimate protection. At Bild, our floors are manufactured to be the best possible flooring that you can lay in your enclosure.
Additionally, Bild can be made in an absolute white under layer, which allows your image or logo to look more prominent on the sheet. Though the clear material is better for the customisable appeal, the absolute white material is just as strong and features the same ultimate protective benefits. The only difference between the two is your personal preference. Whatever custom image you want on your floor, Bild can provide it! With a bespoke printing process, the only limit to what you can have on your floor is your imagination. As an all-new way to advertise, decorate, and otherwise improve, Bild is the best option for absolutely any flooring situation. | materials_science |

It is significantly less inhibitory than SYBR Green because it binds primarily within the minor groove of DNA. Because of its lower inhibition, it may be used in higher concentrations resulting in increased fluorescence output, making it ideal for sensitive applications like HRM. The decreased PCR inhibition also decreases detection times in isothermal amplification applications.
Chai Green is compatible with all Real-Time PCR instruments supporting SYBR or FAM fluorophores, as its fluorescence spectrum is similar to SYBR Green. Dye binding appears to be cooperative and is influenced by the dye concentration and dye-to-basepair ratio.
Chai Green Fluorescence Spectrum
The fluorescence spectrum of Chai Green™ is similar to that of SYBR Green.
- Thermally stable dye designed for qPCR, melt curve, and High Resolution Melt (HRM) analysis
- Perform HRM at 1X working concentration without inhibiting PCR

And you may also be wondering whether it makes sense for your titles.
So what exactly is PUR? Polyurethane or “PUR adhesive” glue came along in the late 1980′s and was used in other industries such as furniture and automotive before being discovered as useful in book binding applications. Its main advantage, a lower freeze point and a higher melting point, has significant advantages, especially for publishers who ship books globally.
Today PUR adhesive is gaining traction in the marketplace as publishers and consumers desire books that will keep the pages bound together more securely over the life time usage of the book. In fact, since installing its PUR binder over three years ago, PG now uses PUR adhesion for about 40% of its books — both hardcover and softcover.
Even fans of Smythe binding, in which the signatures of the book are sewn together, are recognizing PUR’s value, and are moving over to it. According to an article in American Printer, (October, 2003), here are just a few benefits of PUR binding:
- Lie-flat qualities
When applied at its recommended thickness
— 0.01 inch — PUR is considerably more flexible than standard EVA hot melts. This ability to lie flat when open allows for hands-free reading.
- Heat and cold resistance
PUR adhesive has a lower freeze point and a higher melting point than any other adhesive on the market. Books bound by PUR will not fail at extreme temperatures — even over 200°F or under -40°F. These properties were especially important to customers who send books globally where temperature extremes are commonplace.
- Less wrinkling of backbone
Binding cross-grained paper with standard hot melt adhesives causes considerable wrinkling in the book’s gutter area. PUR’s lower operating temperature, however, doesn’t drive paper moisture away from the backbone. PUR is also somewhat malleable as it cures, allowing the paper fibers to return to their original orientation.
- Less “chip-out”
Since PUR is applied at half the standard thickness of hot melt, there is much less chance for the material to build up on trimmer knives and nick the cover material during trimming.
- Square backbone
Because only a small amount of PUR needs to be used for binding, less adhesive is squeezed out when the cover station and side clinchers attach the cover and form the back.
- Cost savings
One of the most significant reasons for considering PUR adhesion is the cost savings. According to a study in Europe, binders can realize a cost savings of 30 percent to 40 percent by milling off the backbone of the folded signatures and then gluing them with PUR.*

Our geo fabrics offer useful, simple and cost-effective solutions for improving the performance of majority construction application be it pavement or soil. Geo textile fabric is typically defined as any permeable textile material used to increase soil stability, provide erosion control or aid in drainage. Being as a leading manufacturer, exporter and supplier of Geo Textile Fabrics, our polymers and manufacturing processes result in an array of geotextiles suitable for a variety of civil construction applications.
Non-woven Geo Textile Fabrics
Non-woven geo textiles resemble felt and provide planar water flow. They are commonly known as filter fabrics, although woven monofilament geotextiles can also be referred to as filter fabrics. Typical applications for non-woven geo textiles include aggregate drains, asphalt pavement overlays and erosion control.
Woven Geo Textile – Slit-film and Monofilament Geotextiles
A woven geotextile is a planar textile structure produced by interlacing two or more sets of strands at right angles. There are two types of strands: slit films, which are flat; and monofilaments, which are round. Woven slit-film geo textiles are generally preferred for applications where high strength properties are needed and filtration requirements are less critical. These fabrics reduce localized shear failure in weak subsoil conditions and aid construction over soft subsoils. Woven monofilament geotextiles are preferred for applications where both strength and filtration are a concern, such as shoreline rip rap applications.
Geotextile-related materials such as fabrics formed into mats, webs, nets, grids, or formed plastic sheets are not the same as geo textiles. These would fall under the more general category of geosynthetics
GEO TEXTILE FABRIC FUNCTIONALITY
Geotextiles provide strength and durability by separating a foundation or construction from underlying soil. For example, if pavement is laid on dirt, over time the lowest layer of the pavement will disassociate as the soil infiltrates the pavement. This leads to weaker pavement, reduced service life and greater maintenance costs.
Using a geotextile layer to separate the pavement from the ground helps maintain the structural integrity of the pavement over time. This is especially important in climates that undergo successive episodes of freezing and thawing. Geotextiles also help prevent the underlying soil from contamination, as well as the pavement from settling if the subgrade beneath the pavement sinks or shifts. | materials_science |

When cement is mixed with water, the resulting chemical reaction transforms this powder into solid rock that the builder can shape and mold. Due to this and other physical and chemical characteristics, this fine powder is often called the “magic powder.”
Joseph Aspdin, an English bricklayer and stonemason, invented Portland Cement in 1824. The word Portland is neither a brand name nor trademark, it is a generic term used to describe the hydraulic property of cement. Aspdin was the first to formulate and get a patent for this cement. He called it “Portland” because the concrete made with this product resembled the color of the stone quarried on the Isle of Portland, a peninsula in the English Channel west of the Isle of Wight.
Clinker (95%) is cooled by air and subsequently ground with gypsum (5%) to form Ordinary Portland Cement (“OPC”). Other forms of cement require increased blending with other raw materials. Blending of clinker with other materials helps impart key characteristics to cement, which eventually govern its end use. Limestone is crushed to a uniform and usable size, blended with certain additives (such as iron ore and bauxite) and discharged on a vertical roller mill, where the raw materials are ground to fine powder. An electrostatic precipitator dedusts the raw mill gases and collects the raw meal for a series of further stages of blending. The homogenized raw meal thus extracted is pumped to the top of a preheater by airlift pumps. In the preheaters the material is heated to 750°C. Subsequently, the raw meal undergoes a process of calcination in a precalcinator (in which the carbonates present are reduced to oxides) and is then fed to the kiln. The remaining calcination and clinkerization reactions are completed in the kiln where the temperature is raised to between 1,450°C and 1,500°C. The clinker formed is cooled and conveyed to the clinker silo from which it is extracted and transported to the cement mills for producing cement. For producing OPC, clinker and gypsum are used and for producing Portland (Pozzolana) Cement (“PPC”), clinker, gypsum and fly ash are used. In the production of Portland Blast Furnace Stag Cement (“PSC”), granulated blast furnace slag from steel plants is added to clinker.
Fly ash is a fine grey powder consisting mostly of spherical glassy particles that are produced as a by-product in coal fired power stations. Fly ash has pozzalonic properties, meaning that it reacts with lime to form cementitious compounds. It is commonly known as a supplementary cementitious material. Fly ash significantly improves concrete performance in various ways and also provides many benefits in cement and non-cement applications. Thermal generating utilities produce coal fly ash. A light, airborne particulate that results from the combustion of pulverized coal, fly ash accounts for 70% to 85% of all coal ash produced. At present 88% of fly ash produced in Europe is recycled. (1999 ECOBA).
Kaolin is a soft white mineral that has an array of uses. It is most commonly found in the form of kaolin clay, a fine clay which was originally produced in China, which is why this clay is sometimes referred to as “China clay.” Among the many uses for this mineral are applications in the paper industry, medications, skincare products, porcelain and cosmetics. Sources of this mineral can be found all over the world, including the United States, China, Brazil, Australia, and parts of Eastern Europe. Mixed with cement it becomes natural kaolin.
Coal is used as an energy source in the cement industry. Large amounts of energy are required to produce cement. Kilns usually burn coal in the form of powder and consume around 450g of coal for about 900g of cement produced. By-products generated from burning coal in coal-fired power plants such as fly ash, bottom ash, boiler slag and flue gas desulphurization gypsum are also used in concrete production (source WCA). Fly ash can be used to replace cement in concrete.
Petcoke is a carbonaceous solid derived from oil refinery coker units or other cracking processes. Its high heat and low ash content make it a good fuel for power generation in coal-fired boilers, but petroleum coke is high in sulphur and low in volatile content, which poses some environmental and technical problems in its combustion. Calcined petroleum coke is the product of calcining petcoke. This coke is the product of the coker unit in a crude oil refinery. The calcined petroleum coke is also used to make anodes for the aluminium, steel and titanium smelting industry. | materials_science |

While testing a high-strength aluminium alloy, they observed hydrogen gas bubbling on the surface of the alloy after water was poured over it. This is unusual, because aluminium exposed to water oxidises, creating a protective barrier that prevents further reactions from occurring. However, the reaction just kept producing hydrogen, taking less than three minutes to achieve almost 100 percent efficiency, and signals the possibility of an affordable, efficient source of hydrogen for fuel cells and other energy applications. The team was able to power a small remote-controlled tank using the process and is looking to undertake field-testing to ensure it works in a practical setting.

This question often surfaces when one delves into the world of adhesives and nail care. Both are powerful bonding agents, yet their composition, purpose, and effects can differ greatly. As the demand for DIY nail treatments has surged, so has the curiosity about the right products to use. Understanding the differences between these two glues is not only vital for achieving the desired results but also for ensuring the safety and health of one’s nails. Let’s delve into the nuances that set these two apart.
Is Nail Glue Super Glue?
No, nail glue is not the same as super glue. They are different types of adhesives with distinct formulations and intended uses. Nail glue is specifically designed for bonding artificial nails or repairing natural nails and is safe for use on the skin. Super glue, on the other han
What is Nail Glue?
Nail glue is crafted primarily for cosmetic purposes, making it an essential tool for bonding artificial nails or fixing a nail break. At its core lies cyanoacrylate, a powerful adhesive component that forms a strong bond. However, nail glue stands apart from super glue in its formulation, as it includes additives that enhance its bonding power and cater to the delicate nature of our nails. These additional components serve to make nail glue safer for skin contact and, in some cases, even promote nail health. By choosing nail glue, you can trust that your nails are not only stylishly enhanced but also cared for with utmost gentleness.
- Formulation: Nail glue typically contains cyanoacrylate as its primary adhesive component, just like super glue. However, what sets it apart is the addition of other ingredients, such as citric acid and benzoyl isopropanol, which enhance its bonding power and make it safer for skin contact.
- Gentle on Nails: The additional ingredients in nail glue help maintain the health of natural nails, reducing the risk of damage during the application and removal process.
- Removability: Nail glue is formulated to be easier to remove from the skin compared to super glue. This is especially important when applying artificial nails, as accidental contact with the skin can happen during the bonding process.
What is Super Glue?
For quick fixes and repairs around the house, super glue has earned its reputation as a reliable adhesive. Composed primarily of 100% cyanoacrylate, super glue boasts unparalleled strength in creating bonds. However, this simple yet potent formulation also means that super glue lacks the gentler additives found in nail glue. Consequently, while super glue excels in general repairs, it may not be the ideal choice for the subtle requirements of nail care. Understanding the differences between these adhesives allows you to choose wisely when faced with nail emergencies or DIY projects around the house.
- Pure Cyanoacrylate: Super glue consists mainly of pure cyanoacrylate without any additional ingredients that cater to the delicate nature of nails or skin. This high concentration of adhesive contributes to its remarkable bonding strength.
- Industrial Strength: Its fast-curing and strong bonding properties make super glue the go-to adhesive for heavy-duty applications in manufacturing and repairs.
- Skin Sensitivity: Super glue can be harsh on human skin, leading to potential skin irritations and adverse reactions. It should be handled with care and kept away from direct contact with the skin.
Nail Glue Vs. Super Glue: A Head-to-Head Comparison
|Tailored for nail-related use
|Versatile for non-skin bonding applications
|Safe for external skin use
|Caution: Should not be applied to skin
|Precise bonding for nails
|Strong and rapid bonding for various materials
|Easier and safer removal from skin
|More challenging removal from skin
|Slightly more expensive
|Generally more affordable
Formula Dynamics: The Essence Within
Both nail glue and super glue share cyanoacrylate as their primary adhesive ingredient, but it’s their respective formulas that influence their behavior. Nail glue, with its unique blend of additional components, is formulated to adjust its viscosity, making it more user-friendly for nail applications. Moreover, these added ingredients contribute to its safety, ensuring a gentler impact on the skin.
In contrast, super glue’s undiluted strength may make it less suitable for prolonged skin contact, making it a more suitable choice for industrial repairs rather than nail care. By understanding the dynamics of their formulas, you can make an informed choice when it comes to selecting the right adhesive for your specific needs.
Durability and Resilience: The Strength Contest
Super glue’s claim to fame is its unbeatable strength, and it has proven its worth in numerous tough bonding tasks. However, this immense strength does come with a caveat: it can be vulnerable when exposed to water. Water weakens super glue’s bond, making it less ideal for applications that involve frequent water contact, such as nail extensions.
In contrast, nail glue’s formulation is specifically tailored to withstand daily encounters with water, ensuring that your stunning nail extensions or repairs last longer. So, while both adhesives are formidable in their own right, nail glue emerges as the graceful contender that can stand up to the tests of time, water, and daily wear.
Application: Nail Glue vs. Super Glue
Nail glue is specifically formulated with nail applications in mind. Its composition is designed to cater to the delicate nature of nails and provide a secure bond between artificial nails (e.g., acrylics, gels, press-ons) and natural nails. This makes it the ideal choice for those seeking flawless and long-lasting manicures. Its precise formulation ensures that it adheres well to nail surfaces without causing any harm to the nails or surrounding skin.
In contrast, super glue boasts versatility in various non-skin related applications. Its powerful bonding properties make it suitable for quick repairs and strong bonds on materials like metal, plastic, wood, and more. While it excels in providing robust bonds outside the realm of nail care, it’s crucial to exercise caution when using super glue on human skin, as it can lead to skin irritations and adverse reactions.
Safety: Nail Glue vs. Super Glue
Nail glue is specially formulated to be safe for external use on the skin, making it a suitable choice for nail applications. The presence of gentle additives, such as citric acid and benzoyl isopropanol, contributes to its skin-friendly nature. This added safety factor ensures that nail enthusiasts can achieve their desired nail looks without worrying about skin irritations or discomfort.
Conversely, super glue should not be applied directly to the skin due to its high concentration of pure cyanoacrylate, which can cause skin irritations and reactions. This adhesive is intended for non-skin applications, and users must handle it with care to avoid any accidental contact with their skin.
Nail glue is formulated to be easier to remove from the skin, providing a safer and less painful removal process. When it’s time to remove artificial nails or repair work, a gentle soak in acetone can dissolve the nail glue bond without causing harm to the natural nail or surrounding skin.
Super glue’s strong and resilient bond can make its removal from the skin more challenging. Removing super glue from skin may require more effort and care to avoid any damage or discomfort. It’s essential to use the appropriate removal techniques to minimize potential skin irritation.
When considering cost, nail glue may be slightly more expensive than super glue due to its specialized formulation and nail-specific additives. However, the slight price difference is justified by the benefits it provides, ensuring a safe and effective adhesive for nail applications. For non-skin related bonding needs, super glue’s versatility and affordability make it an excellent choice.
Is super glue stronger than nail glue?
Super glue is generally stronger than nail glue.
Can super glue be used as a substitute for nail glue?
While super glue can be used as a substitute for nail glue, it may not be skin-friendly and could cause damage or irritation.
What alternatives exist for nail glue?
Alternatives to nail glue include double-sided nail tapes, nail adhesive tabs, and brush-on adhesive.
How long does super glue stay on nails?
Super glue can last on nails for several days, but its duration may vary based on activity and exposure to water.
Is nail glue water-resistant?
Many nail glues are water-resistant but not all are completely waterproof.
Is super glue water-resistant?
Super glue is typically water-resistant, and some formulas are waterproof.
In comparing nail glue and super glue, while both adhesives have their strengths, they serve distinct purposes. Super glue tends to be stronger, but may not be skin-friendly and could cause potential damage to the nail or surrounding skin. Nail glue, on the other hand, is formulated specifically for nail applications, offering a balance between adhesion and safety for skin contact. It’s crucial to choose the right adhesive for your nail needs.

We make our door handles from stainless steel. Our material of choice is AISI 304 steel, which consists of:
- 18% chromium,
- 8 – 9% nickel,
- the rest being mainly steel.
This type of material withstands corrosion (rusting) when exposed to both air and fresh water – i.e., ordinary use.
Corrosion can be caused when water contains salt, chlorine or acidic substances. Handles for use in such aggressive conditions are made from stainless steel with a molybdenum alloying agent. Called AISI 316, it is corrosion-resistant in saline, chlorine and acidic environments.
Alloying agents make the metal stronger
By using the right steel in the handle, we can keep the product from rusting in most environments. Stainless steel owes its special properties come from chromium, which should account for at least 12% of the total mass. In such items, a thin layer of chromium oxide invisible to the eye forms on the surface of the steel, protecting the metal from corrosion. If the oxide layer is lost, a new protective layer forms immediately thanks to the oxygen in the air.
Besides chromium, metals like nickel and molybdenum also add more corrosion resistance. Stainless steel’s ability to withstand corrosion is greater at a higher chromium, nickel and molybdenum content.
In the final phase of producing the handles, we treat the surfaces with a passivator, a compound that increases resistance to corrosion from the moment the product comes out of the plant.
What should be avoided?
Patches of rust may appear on stainless steel handles in the following cases:
- the surface is exposed to a significantly more aggressive environment than the one for which the steel in the specific category was intended. This effect is associated with heavily polluted air, saline solutions or residues of chlorine-containing cleaning products;
- the surface of the handles is polished, which allows corrosive substances from the surrounding environment and carbon steel particles to stick to the surface;
- The material’s surface has been marred by dust from polishing and other metal particles from tools used in the installation process;
- Ordinary carbon steel details were used to fasten the handles;
- the stainless steel comes into contact with components made of ordinary carbon steel in a wet or moist environment.
In the first three situations, the risk of corrosion is greater if the steel alloy has a low nickel and molybdenum content. The risk of corrosion can be significantly reduced by using AISI 316 stainless steel, which has extra molybdenum in it.
In the last three cases, the stainless steel surface is marred by rust from ordinary carbon steel. | materials_science |

Today, 3-D printers can produce fully functional components, including complex mechanisms, batteries, transistors, and LEDs. 3D printing — also known as additive manufacturing — is the process of making three-dimensional solid objects from digital computer models. Following computer-generated drawings, 3D printers generally “print" layers of materials to build a physical object from the bottom up. The process is used in a range of fields, from producing crowns in a dental lab to rapid prototyping of aerospace, automotive, and consumer goods.
More recently, the technology is being used in the production of patient-specific orthopedic and cranial implants, a number of which have received U.S. and EU regulatory approval. Now pharma and biotech companies are looking at how 3D cell cultures and 3D printing can be used in drug development.
Visiongain analysts predict that bioprinting will be an important subsector of the 3D printed products industry. A report by Visiongain forecasts the world market for 3D printing in the healthcare industry will be $4.04 billion in 2018, up from $1.26 billion in 2013, with growth seen in the orthopedic area.
According to PwC, the 3D printing area will advance through loosely coordinated development in three areas: printers and printing methods, software to design and print, and materials used in printing.
3D Printing for Bone Replacement
One company working in the orthopedic space is Tissue Regeneration Systems. The company has a technology platform for skeletal reconstruction and bone regeneration that was licensed from the Universities of Michigan and Wisconsin.
Jim Fitzsimmons, president and CEO of Tissue Regeneration Systems, says there are two key parts of the technology platform.
“That first part is an ability to use 3D printing manufacturing to construct complex implant scaffolds from a biosorbable material called PCL," he says. “These implants are intended to replace missing bone. They are porous because the intent is for bone to grow in and through the scaffold. Over time, the scaffold goes away because it is bioresorbable."
The technology allows for patient-specific implants. The company can take an imaging study that shows the exact shape and geometry of the missing bone.
“We can turn this image into an engineering drawing that drives the creation of a custom implant that is a perfect fit for what bone is missing," Mr. Fitzsimmons says. “The implant is porous which allows the bone a place to grow. We have been able to engineer these open spaces so that the implant can bear load, which is a novel attribute for these implants."
The second part of the technology is a process to grow a bone mineral coating on the surfaces of the implant and internal pores. It transforms a polymer implant into an implant whose surface areas are bone-like, which becomes a much better substrate for bone growth and attachment to the implant.
“A patient’s bone will start forming and growing into and throughout the implant scaffold," Mr. Fitzsimmons says. “Adherence, growth, and attachment are more robust when the bone thinks it is attaching to bone."
Tissue Regeneration Systems received approval in 2013 from the FDA for cranial applications of this technology. The company also has an alliance with Johnson & Johnson Innovation to develop the technology for orthopedic trauma applications.
“Our business model is to develop products in partnership with larger corporate partners," Mr. Fitzsimmons says. “Once developed, the products are taken to market by our partners and we are the supplier of the product. Our first major partnership is with J&J’s DePuy Synthes group. We’re in discussions with other prospective partners as well."
Bioprinting for Pharma Applications
Researchers at several biotech companies and universities have begun working with 3D cell cultures and bioprinting to advance pharmaceutical applications in drug research and development.
Organovo is credited with developing the first commercial 3D bioprinting technology platform. The company’s goal is to build living human tissues that are proven to function like native tissues. Organovo’s near-term applications are to develop functional 3D human tissues for drug discovery and toxicology testing. The technology is able to create, without the use of scaffolding, 3D anatomically correct tissues with integrated microvasculature.
In April, the company presented data on in vitro 3D kidney tissue. For the first time, fully human kidney proximal tubular tissues were presented that were generated from 3D technology and that consist of multiple tissue-relevant cell types arranged to recapitulate the renal tubular/interstitial interface. The tissues are fabricated using Organovo’s NovoGenT bioprinting platform, and join the company’s exVive3D liver tissues, expanding the repertoire of physiologically relevant tissue systems available for toxicity and efficacy testing as well as disease modeling.
Organovo’s bioprinting process centers around the identification of key compositional elements of a target tissue. Once a tissue design is established, the first step is to develop the bioprocess protocols required to generate the multi-cellular building blocks — also called bio-ink — from the cells that will be used to build the target tissue.
The bio-ink building blocks are then dispensed from a bioprinter, using a layer-by-layer approach that is scaled for the target output. Bio-inert hydrogel components may be used as supports, as tissues are built up vertically to achieve three-dimensionality, or as fillers to create channels or void spaces within tissues to mimic features of native tissue. The bioprinting process can be tailored to produce tissues in a variety of formats, from micro-scale tissues contained in standard multi-well tissue culture plates, to larger structures suitable for placement onto bioreactors for biomechanical conditioning before use.
“Our printer places little ‘blocks’ of cells — a tenth of a millimeter — into specific regions so that we can recreate in layers the different tissues," says Keith Murphy, CEO of Organovo. “The goal is to replicate the normal function in the body. For a number of tissues now, we have demonstrated success."
Mr. Murphy says the company’s technology recreates the environment in the body, which provides a much larger working area compared with a petri dish, which limits the size of the cells that can be used.
“In our hands, we can create a native environment and allow the cells that would normally stop growing to develop the signals needed in the body," he says. “By allowing the cells to be surrounded by one another as well as other cell types, rather than sticking to the plastic surface of a petri dish, we can evaluate a number of different factors."
Mr. Murphy says, for example, pharmaceutical companies are using these tissues for toxicology testing.
“Using a disease model or a liver model made of human living cells outside the body should be better than animal models in most cases," he says. “In the short term, we don’t expect to replace the traditional studies in terms of FDA expectations for liver toxicity, but as the FDA reviews more data, regulators may rely on bioprinted tissues. It’s possible that sponsors could cut the number of animal studies and use the human data in conjunction to complete a toxicology package."
Another opportunity that Organovo is pursing is full disease modeling.
“For example, in a breast cancer model, we can build a 3D tissue that can be used to discover drugs to show their efficacy rather than safety," Mr. Murphy says.
Organovo executives suggest that within a decade, they will be able to print solid organs such as liver, heart, and kidney.
Roche is one company that is investigating whether 3D cell cultures can have an application in development, specifically in drug safety. The company is now reviewing data from a collaboration with Organovo to look at whether 3D cell structures of the liver can be used to assess toxicity.
To test this technology and see how Roche could apply it to drug safety testing, the company sent Organovo a blinded compound, which either did or didn’t bear safety liabilities in the liver of treated patients. The data showed that the liver cells created from Organovo’s 3D bioprinting technology were able to correctly identify the one compound that had safety concerns, says Adrian Roth, Ph.D., head of mechanistic safety, pharmaceutical science, at Roche.
“We are not yet finished analyzing the data, but we find this approach promising," he says. “We have a strong interest in finding more human-relevant cellular models to increase patient safety and to replace animal testing. We would like to develop models that allow us to better estimate the human response to drugs. We know that conventional cell cultures only poorly reflect the in vivo situation. We want to be able to make the right decisions to move the most safe and efficacious drugs further into development."
Dr. Roth says using 3D human cells for safety testing has the potential to lower overall costs by reducing the number of animal studies required.
“We don’t want to learn about safety issues after we’ve run dozens of animal studies," he says. “Rather, there is the potential to use 3D cells for dosing with the most favorable properties in an early stage."
Another company, Aprecia Pharmaceuticals, has a 3D printing platform for manufacturing easy-to-swallow and quick-dissolving medications. This process stitches together multiple layers of powdered medication using an aqueous fluid to produce a porous, water-soluble matrix that rapidly disperses with a sip of water.
In October 2014, the company filed an NDA with the FDA for its first product using its proprietary ZipDose technology. Using the 3DP technology as a catalyst, Aprecia created a novel manufacturing system to produce fast-melt formulations of medicines that exceed the disintegration speed and dose-load capacity of products made by other fast-melt technologies. Aprecia holds an exclusive license from MIT for pharmaceutical applications of the 3DP technology.
Aprecia plans to introduce new ZipDose products in the coming years, focusing first on the CNS therapeutic area, where there is a need for medicines that are easier to take.
Pharma companies are not the only organizations investigating the potential uses of 3D technology; universities are also getting into the act. At the Wyss Institute at Harvard, for example, Professor Jennifer Lewis’ research group is using a sacrificial ink to print smaller channels, tens to hundreds of micrometers in diameter. Lewis Group researchers are using printed biological tissue interwoven with a complex network of blood vessels. To do this, the researchers had to make “inks" out of various types of cells and the materials that form the matrix supporting them.
Other Methods for 3D Cell Cultures
The goal of Nano3D Biosciences is to create 3D cell cultures for toxicity testing, drug discovery applications, and high throughput drug discovery. The company’s approach relies on magnetizing cells. A biocompatible magnet is applied in two ways to assemble micro tissue. Using magnetic levitation, the magnetic nanoparticles attach to the cells, carry them off the bottom of a petri dish, and bring them together to create a 3D structure.
“An advantage of our technology is that we can bring the cells together and assemble them quickly," says Glauco Souza, Ph.D., president and CSO at Nano3D Biosciences. “Usually, we use levitation for larger-scale generation of tissue with a single culture or a 24-well plate."
Dr. Souza says traditional cell cultures are 2D and when put in a petri dish will grow flat. When cells are grown in a flat environment, half of the cells are in contact with a plastic surface.
“The 3D environment and the cell-to-cell interaction is key for generating a predictive tissue model of toxicity and drug discovery," he says. “We believe our model can be a surrogate for animal studies and can reduce the use of animals."
Nano3D also has a process it calls magnetic bioprinting. The same magnetic nanoparticles are used to levitate the cells, but in this application, the company applies a small magnetic film to assemble the tissue.
“With this method, we can make shapes in a very small space," Dr. Souza says. (PV) | materials_science |

However, there has not been a comprehensive laboratory comparison to determine the most appropriate device for treating these patients. This study subjected a range of contemporary lateral fibular plates to a series of mechanical tests designed to reveal performance differences.
Methods: Forty fresh frozen lower extremities were divided into 4 groups. A Weber B distal fibula fracture was simulated with an osteotomy and stabilized using 1 of 4 plate systems: a standard Synthese one-third tubular plate with an interfragmentary lag screw, a Synthes LCP locking plate with a lag screw, an Orthohelix MaxLock Extreme low-profile locking plate with a lag screw, or a TriMed Sidewinder nonlocking plate. Controlled monotonic bending and cyclic torsional loading were applied and bending stiffness, torsional stiffness, and fracture site motion were quantified. Resistance to cyclic torsional loading was determined by quantifying the number of loads withstood before excessive rotation occurred. Correlation between bone mineral density and each of the mechanical measures was determined.
Results: There was no difference in angulation or bending stiffness between plates. All plates except the LCP showed greater lateral deflection than in the other bending directions. Bending stiffness was lowest in lateral distal fragment deflection for all 4 plates. There was a positive correlation between bone mineral density and bending stiffness for all plate types. There was no difference in fracture site rotation between plate types in internal or external torsion, but internal rotation for the distal fragment consistently exceeded external rotation. Torsional stiffness in external rotation exceeded stiffness in internal rotation in nearly all specimens. LCP plates performed relatively poorly under cyclic torsion.
Conclusions: Significant differences in plate performance were not demonstrated. The effects of bone quality variability and differences in interfragmentary screw purchase resulted in data dispersion that confounded the absolute ranking of plate performance.
Clinical Relevance: Identification of an optimal lateral fibular plating system has the potential to improve the clinical outcome of malleolar fracture fixation, particularly when patient conditions are unfavorable. | materials_science |

Responsible production, a lasting relationship based on respect. We believe that fair trade and sustainable development are natural: respecting your skin with soft materials; respecting the men and women who make your clothes with dignified working conditions; and respecting the world that we live in by limiting our impact on the environment.
Our Materials and Environmental Certifications
We favour organic or recycled materials that care for your skin and the environment. Our entire production chain benefits from the strictest environmental certifications and labels in the market.
Most of our clothing is made from 100% organic cotton. Organic cotton is a natural, GMO-free fibre that uses less water than standard cotton. In addition, its production does not involve the use of chemicals (no fertilisers or pesticides) and encourages rotation of crops to keep soil healthier, more fertile and maintain humidity. Waste from the cotton ginning process is also recycled for the animal feed industry.
GOTS is the Global Organic Textile Standard label. The strictest certification for textiles made from organic fibres. GOTS tracks the entire chain of production from farm to factory: from harvesting of the cotton, weaving of fibres, assembly of items, to the final product before printing, including even the export of our clothing! It certifies that Stanley/Stella cotton is GMO-free and is grown without the use of chemicals and is processed and dyed without using any banned toxic substances.
GOTS also ensures compliance with the labour standards of the International Labour Organisation throughout the chain of production.
Tencel and Modal
Tencel® and Modal® are biodegradable and made from eucalyptus or beech tree pulp. Eucalyptus is known for being a fast-growing wood that does not require irrigation. The Tencel manufacturing process has received the “European Award for the Environment” from the European Union due to its low emissions.
Our cellulose fibres are sourced exclusively from the Austrian manufacturer Lenzing, the first fibre manufacturer to have received the EU Ecolabel, which promotes environmental excellence.
Linen is a tough natural fibre that is extremely “eco-friendly”. It can be grown without the use of either chemicals or irrigation. Natural precipitation is all that it requires. In addition, each plant also absorbs a large quantity of carbon.
Recycled polyester is used to make windcheater jackets and as a complement (up to 15%) to organic cotton in some of our sweatshirts. One windcheater jacket enables the recycling of between 7 and 8 PET plastic bottles. And to ensure that our sweatshirts are nice and soft against your skin, it is never in direct contact with the polyester, which is sandwiched between two layers of organic cotton.
The Global Recycled Standard label certifies that the materials used are recycled: in the case of polyester, from plastic bottles, and for cotton, from cutting waste. GRS also guarantees compliance with social and environmental criteria such as treatment of waste water, the absence of certain toxic additives and respect for working conditions in our partner factories.
The cutting of different pieces to make our products naturally produces scrap material. Since the idea of throwing this material away is out of the question, we have a partner who collects and recycles it into new cotton thread that we use in the manufacture of our tote bags.
You can’t buy trust. It has to be earned. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certifies the absence of harmful chemical substances in all our products thanks to the “Confidence in textile” label. An independent testing and certification system that ensures that all raw, semi-finished and finished textile products are processed in a way that prioritises:
- The precautionary principle, which prohibits certain potentially harmful substances even where they are not (yet) legally banned
- The absence of chemical substances that are harmful to health and the environment
- A restriction on the lead content of dyes
We are also proud to announce that our products PETA certified. This means that we do not conduct or commission any animal tests on ingredients, formulations, or finished products and pledge never to do so. On top of this, our apparel is made from 100% vegan materials so you can be confident that no harm came to anyone during its creation. | materials_science |

Heat does interesting things to everything it touches. For example, it damages the finish on our vehicles, devastates the landscape foliage, evaporates the water in our lakes, and dries out the Texas soil causing dramatic shifts in the underlying foundations of commercial and residential properties. These movements create fissures that damage underground electrical, network, and plumbing connections into these structures.
Small businesses in Texas and other southwestern states risk a disruption of their voice and data services due to the contraction of soil around their facilities when utilizing aging copper T-1 lines. Good news, a key attribute of sheathed fiber cabling is flexibility and strength.
An optical fiber has greater tensile strength than copper or steel fibers of the same diameter. It is flexible, bends easily and resists most corrosive elements that attack copper cable. Optical fiber can withstand higher temperatures than copper wires. This means that even when the outside jacket surrounding the optical fiber has melted, an optical fiber system can still perform well.
In addition, fiber cabling offers other advantages that include the following:
- Bandwidth – Fiber optic cables have a much greater bandwidth than metal cables. The amount of information that can be transmitted per unit time of fiber over other transmission media is its most significant advantage. With the high performance single mode cable used by telephone industries for long distance telecommunication, the bandwidth surpasses the needs of today’s applications and gives room for growth tomorrow.
- Low Power Loss – An optical fiber offers low power loss. This allows for longer transmission distances. In comparison to copper; in a network, the longest recommended copper distance is 100m while with fiber, it is 2000m.
- Interference – fiber optic cables are immune to electromagnetic interference. It can also be run in electrically noisy environments without concern as electrical noise will not affect fiber.
- Size – In comparison to copper, a fiber optic cable has nearly 4.5 times as much capacity as the wire cable has and a cross sectional area that is 30 times less.
- Weight – fiber optic cables are much thinner and lighter than metal wires. They also occupy less space with cables of the same information capacity. Lighter weight makes fiber easier to install.
- Safety – Since the fiber is a dielectric, it does not present a spark hazard.
- Security – Optical fibers are difficult to tap. As they do not radiate electromagnetic energy, emissions cannot be intercepted. As physically tapping the fiber takes great skill to do undetected, fiber is the most secure medium available for carrying sensitive data.
The flexibility and strength of sheathed fiber cabling provides small businesses with an alternative to constant worry about whether their voice and data service will survive the crazy, hazy, lazy days of Summer.

UPM Raflatac’s RafCycle recycling service collects waste such as used PET label liners from its customers and end users. The company claims that approximately 80% of backing materials for self-adhesive labels are paper with an established recycling process, but the remaining 20% are PET-based with an extremely thin layer of silicone applied to the plastic, which can make them difficult to separate. and recycle, causing them to be incinerated instead.
In a new value chain collaboration, waste PET-based label liners collected by UPM Raflatac will be transformed into raw material through a process developed by Inosence Polyol. Finnfoam will then use the raw material for its polyisocyanurate or FF-PIR insulation.
Juha Virmavirta, Director of RafCycle Solutions at UPM Raflatac, comments: “Disposable or short-lived products are often made from recycled PET plastic. In our solution, the recycled raw material is transformed into insulation, for example a sustainable product that binds carbon for decades.
“Our value chain even meets critical scrutiny, and on top of that, we’re making the label industry much more sustainable.”
Henri Nieminen, CEO of Finnfoam, adds: “The solution we have developed with UPM Raflatac and Inosence Polyol Oy is an excellent example of the potential of chemical recycling. It makes it possible to separate and recycle many materials that are difficult to separate.
“New economic and environmentally friendly recycling methods will also drive legislative changes and further increase the obligation to recycle and reduce waste incineration, which is of course a very good thing.”
UPM Raflatac offers a range of linerless direct thermal labels, which was certified CarbonNeutral by Natural Capital Partners earlier this year. | materials_science |

Bromine based Flame Retardants (BFRs) play a key role in meeting fire safety requirements and protecting consumers. The term “flame retardant” refers to a function and not to a specific family of chemicals. This function of flame retardancy is derived from elements such as bromine, phosphorus, nitrogen as well as some inorganics such as magnesium and aluminium.
BFRs contain many different types of chemicals, with widely differing molecular structures, physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties and chemistries (additives, reactive, polymeric).
They also differ from a function/technical perspective depending on the intended material or product application. It is precisely due to these differences that grouping of these substances for regulatory purposes should be approached with great caution.

Activated carbon is a product that is used in a wide range of applications, including removing toxic gases in industrial waste and effluent, to purify water, and in the supplement, cosmetic, and food and beverage sectors. Activated carbon is even used in candle manufacturing! In addition activated carbon conducts electricity and insulates heat. There are even experiments underway to look into its use as a binder with hemp.
Activated Carbon NZ Ltd is the only New Zealand manufacturer of activated carbon.
Being able to supply domestically is proving to be extremely important as supply chains for activated carbon from overseas continue to be severely disrupted due to COVID-19.
In the past, New Zealand businesses have typically sourced their activated carbon from China or Australia, but often from much less environmentally friendly source material such as coal or coconut shells.
“We know that businesses are looking for high-quality activated carbon that is more sustainable and we’re able to provide that for them with no supply issues,” says Activated Carbon NZ Director Grant Hughes. “We’re able to provide activated carbon as a fine powder, granulated, or in capsule form wholesale for industrial customers or for everyday consumers via our online shop.”
Having worked in the farming sector for most of his life, Grant then moved into providing short-term financing solutions, which is how he came across the Activated Carbon business. He immediately saw its potential and worked to put the factory together that would form the heart of their business.
“We imported a piece of kit from China that theoretically worked but didn’t in reality. I spent the next couple of years with a grinder and welder and with the help of some really talented locals we developed the plant we needed to create the high quality activated carbon.”
Activated carbon cleanses through adsorption or ionic exchange. It is made by eliminating the organic volatiles from carbon-rich organic materials, leaving just the carbon pore structure and increasing the surface area. This means that one teaspoon of activated carbon has more surface area than a football field. The pores and microstructure are able to attract toxins and chemicals, which is why activated carbon works so well as a purifier. In general, the greater the surface area of the activated carbon the higher the quality. Commercially produced activated carbon typically falls within a range of 300m2 to 900m2 per gram.
“A lot of the activated carbon coming from China is at the low end of this range however we are able to average 900-1200m2 per gram of activated carbon, sometimes as high as 1500m2.
“We are passionate about combating environmental pollution,” says Grant. “Creating a business that we believe is carbon positive is very important to us. We even supply the wood vinegar that is the byproduct of our manufacturing process for use in organic farming.
“COVID has given us the opportunity to highlight our sustainable New Zealand-made activated carbon to businesses that might not otherwise have considered whether or not there are better options for them right on their doorstep.
“We have a huge carbon resource here in New Zealand. We don’t need to dig up our national parks or mine our seabed to get to this resource, it’s all around us. We still have poor utilisation in our plantation forests and there is still a lot of waste. Pine trees continue to be planted but byproducts of timber production, such as sawdust, are currently being thrown away or getting chucked into a hole to rot. Meanwhile, there is a domestic and global market for activated carbon that is undergoing significant growth, and we have the ability to make and supply a really good product for that market.
“Rather than choosing activated carbon that’s produced from unsustainable sources that’s been dumped in the New Zealand market for less than it costs to ship it here, we need businesses in New Zealand to make a choice that’s better for our environment and is a higher quality product that will achieve better results for them.” | materials_science |

It is a dense, soft, malleable and ductile metal with a bright yellow color and luster, the properties of which remain without tarnishing when exposed to air or water. Chemically, gold is a transition metal and a group 11 element. It is one of the least reactive chemical elements, and is solid under standard conditions. The metal therefore occurs often in free elemental (native) form, as nuggets or grains, in rocks, in veins and in alluvial deposits. Less commonly, it occurs in minerals as gold compounds, such as with tellurium as calaverite, sylvanite, or krennerite.
Gold resists attacks by individual acids, but it can be dissolved by aqua regia (nitro-hydrochloric acid), so named because it dissolves gold. Gold also dissolves in alkaline solutions of cyanide, which have been used in mining. It dissolves in mercury, forming amalgam alloys; it is insoluble in nitric acid, which dissolves silver and base metals, a property that has long been used to confirm the presence of gold in items, giving rise to the term acid test. | materials_science |

UV Coating is recommended for printed pieces which will be handled frequently, such as presentation folders, the covers of paperback books and some types of business cards. It is also recommended for promotional pieces that aim to grab attention, such as flagship brochures and direct mail postcards.
UV Coating is applied in liquid form, then exposed to Ultra-Violet light which bonds and dries it instantly¡Khence its name "UV Coating." It can be applied over the entire printed piece (called Flooding) or it can be used as a Spot coating to just highlight particular areas. In addition, UV Coating is available in a variety of sheen levels, with high gloss being the most popular.
Compared to other coatings, UV Coating is tougher than Aqueous Coating though not quite as hard-wearing as a plastic laminate. Also, because a UV Coating is a relatively thick coating, it will generally require pre-scoring to reduce cracking when folded.
Finally, it is important to note that because a UV Coating has such a slick surface, you will have difficulty writing, overprinting, rubber stamping, gluing or applying certain labels to its surface. Thus, if you intend to imprint or adhere anything after your pieces are produced, notify your printer in advance so he can "block out" certain areas from receiving UV coverage.
Give us a call if you have questions about UV Coating or any other coatings used on printed materials. There are many coating options to choose from, so let Printing Plus help you decide which is best for your particular print project. | materials_science |

The key to the P2000 Insulation System’s effectiveness is not its individual components, but how these pieces function together as an engineered system.
P2000 Insulation Systems™ is a high performance insulation system that addresses all three types of heat transfer: conduction, convection and radiation. It is a specially formulated expanded polystyrene (EPS) core with metalized plastic facers.
The P2000 Insulation System functions as an all-weather guard in one product:
• Stops cold, wind, heat and moisture
• Creates a true thermal break
• Eliminates condensation
• Light weight
• Easy to install
• Environmentally friendly
• Very Economical
The P2000 Insulation System™ offers several advantages:
• A “Green Product”
• Save on heating and cooling costs
• Quicker and easier to install
• Thin and flexible sheets makes it very versatile
• Virtually waterproof
• Insulating value not reduced by sagging, settling, compression or moisture
• No more itching or scratching, during and after installation
P2000 Insulation delivers energy savings and interior comfort in extreme weather conditions. The laminated board with double sealed joints blocks drafts. The dense foam core reduces conductive heat transfer, while the metalized plastic facers minimize air and moisture infiltration and are effective radiant blockers.
P2000 Insulation is lightweight, easy to handle, and simple to install. It will never sag or settle and resists moisture absorption – making it an effective insulator even when wet.
P2000 Insulation makes for healthier homes. It does not support mold growth; it does not “off-gas” harmful chemicals; it does not release harmful airborne particles and contains no CFCs or HCFCs.
How P2000 Works
Why is P2000 so effective? Conventional thinking leads most consumers to believe that a well insulated wall has to be a thick wall. With the P2000 Insulation System, that is no longer the case.
Instead of relying on thick layers of insulation to absorb heat and slow down thermal transfer, the P2000 Insulation System is engineered to address the major issues that plague most conventional insulations:
• P2000 End View Conductive Heat Losses are addressed by an EPS core that exhibits an R-value of 3.8 to 4.1 at one inch of thickness. This material is similar to the foam cup we have trusted for years, that protects the hand from both hot and cold temperatures.
• Radiative Heat Losses are addressed using highly reflective, proprietary metalized facers. These facers reflect 90+% of the thermal radiation that comes in contact with them.
• Air / Moisture, Infiltration & Convective Heat Losses: proprietary facers also serve as air, vapor, and moisture barriers. A unique double flap sealing system aids in the formation of a continuous barrier to moisture and air infiltration. Should P2000 become wet, the overall insulating performance of the system has been shown to be unaffected.
• Thermal Bridging through structural framing members is minimized since the P2000 Insulation System is designed to cover these areas completely.
• Installation Deficiencies are not as pronounced since the P2000 Insulation System wraps the building envelope, completely covering structural framing members. As a result, the performance of the P2000 Insulation System is less dependent on stud configuration following nominal patterns. Installation practices such as wiring, piping, etc have little or no effect on insulating performance since, in most cases, they do not penetrate the material.
• Long Term Stability of the EPS core has been proven both mechanically and thermally.
Understanding Building Envelopes
How does P2000 enhance the standard building envelope?
In today’s marketplace, insulation is sold based on center of cavity thermal resistance, or R-value. However, R-value is only one piece of the thermal equation.
A list of common issues that plague conventional insulations when installed in a building envelope include:
• Conductive heat loss
• Air leakage and convective heat loss (can be 35% of heat loss/gain in a building envelope)
• Moisture infiltration (water is highly conductive)
• Radiative heat loss (can be 55% of heat transfer in ordinary air spaces)
• Installation deficiencies
• Thermal bridging (average of 25% of a residential building’s surface area is framing)
• Long term stability
Most of the thermal performance testing completed on conventional insulations focus on their resistance to conductive heat transfer as measured by R-value in the ASTM C518 test. This standard laboratory test measures thermal resistance under a specific set of conditions. In reality, R-value of a particular material is dependent on a number of environmental and installation parameters, external to the material itself.
P2000 enhances the building envelope.
Being a system based insulating product, P2000 is engineered to work with the other building assembly components to minimize heat loss by the mechanisms previously outlined. When reflective materials are incorporated in the building envelope, the combination of orientation as well as air spaces can elevate the performance of a wall, ceiling or floor assembly well beyond the recognized R-values of the building materials alone.

It is these unique properties that make graphene the perfect candidate for revolutionizing battery technology and, by extension, cordless power tools.
Graphene Batteries: A Quantum Leap in Energy Storage
When it comes to batteries, the key factors that determine their performance are energy density (the amount of energy that can be stored in a given volume), power density (the rate at which energy can be delivered), and cycle life (the number of times a battery can be charged and discharged before its capacity significantly decreases). Graphene batteries hold the potential to outperform traditional lithium-ion batteries in all of these aspects:
- Higher energy density: Thanks to its superior conductivity, graphene can store more energy per unit volume than lithium-ion batteries, which translates to longer runtimes for cordless power tools.
- Greater power density: The exceptional electron mobility in graphene allows for faster charging and discharging rates, meaning that power tools can be used more intensively and recharged more quickly.
- Improved cycle life: Graphene batteries are much more resilient and less prone to capacity loss over time, ensuring a longer lifespan and better long-term performance for cordless tools.
Moreover, graphene batteries also boast other advantages, such as better thermal management, reduced risk of thermal runaway (a major safety concern with lithium-ion batteries), and a more environmentally friendly production process.
Impact on the Cordless Power Tool Industry
With all these benefits in mind, it is clear that graphene batteries have the potential to revolutionize the cordless power tool industry in several ways:
- Better performance: The increased energy and power density of graphene batteries will enable cordless tools to deliver more power and operate for longer periods, rivaling or even surpassing their corded counterparts.
- Faster charging times: The ability to recharge tools rapidly will minimize downtime and boost productivity, especially in professional settings where time is of the essence.
- Longer tool lifespans: The extended cycle life of graphene batteries will not only save users money by reducing the need for frequent battery replacements, but also contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to tool use and disposal.
- New design possibilities: The unique properties of graphene, such as its strength, flexibility, and lightness, could enable manufacturers to create new, innovative tool designs that were previously unattainable with traditional battery technologies.
As graphene battery technology continues to advance and mature, it is only a matter of time before it becomes the new standard for cordless power tools, delivering unprecedented levels of performance, convenience, and sustainability.
Graphene batteries are poised to usher in a new era for cordless power tools, offering significant improvements in performance, charging speed, and longevity. As this groundbreaking technology continues to develop and gain traction, we can expect to see a profound transformation in the way we use and power our tools, ultimately making our lives easier, more productive, and more efficient. | materials_science |

To ensure the longevity of your brickwork, the use of sand between the joints is crucial. The fine, compact particles of sand help the bricks interlock properly. However, over time, the sand can wash away and be replaced with dirt, making it easier for weeds to grow and weaken the interlocking structure. To combat this, using polymeric sand can help. Polymeric sand contains chemical or organic compounds that, when activated with water, adhere to the bricks and hold the sand in place, reducing maintenance and preventing weed growth. With polymeric sand, you can enjoy a durable and well-maintained brick driveway for longer.
Maintenance Check up and Re-Sanding
There are 3 main reasons why you should have you driveway sealed:
1) Aesthetically brings out the colour
2) Helps protects the bricks from oil and salt
3) Helps to hold the sand in between the joints
A common misconception is that when sealed, the brickwork becomes slippery. In some cases this is true, however this isn’t the fact with all brands and products. And even for those instances another product can be added to the mix to help give the sealant some grit to prevent slipping. It is recommended that reapplication occur every 2-3 years depending on the brand in order to maintain the protective layer and colour boost. | materials_science |

Whether it’s the screen of your smartphone, tablet, or television, optical clarity is paramount for an immersive and enjoyable viewing experience. Enter polycarbonate films, a revolutionary technology that offers crystal-clear optical properties. In this exploration, we will uncover the science and significance of polycarbonate films in displays.
The Display Revolution
The evolution of displays has been nothing short of extraordinary. From bulky cathode-ray tubes to sleek, high-definition screens, our demand for clarity and visual quality has propelled innovation. Optical clarity, defined as the ability of a material to transmit light without distortion, is the linchpin of this evolution.
The Rise of Polycarbonate Films
Polycarbonate, a versatile and robust thermoplastic, has emerged as a leading material for displays, thanks to polycarbonate film rolls exceptional optical properties:
- High Transparency: Polycarbonate films are renowned for their high transparency, allowing a significant amount of light to pass through without scattering or absorption. This property is critical for achieving vibrant and sharp images on displays.
- Low Birefringence: Birefringence refers to the extent to which a material refracts light into two different directions, causing optical distortion. Polycarbonate films exhibit low birefringence, ensuring that light passes through uniformly and emerges without distortion on the other side of the film.
- Surface Smoothness: The surface of polycarbonate films can be engineered to be exceptionally smooth, reducing scattering and minimizing glare. This results in displays with minimal reflection and high contrast.
- Durability: Polycarbonate is inherently impact-resistant and scratch-resistant. When used as a protective layer in displays, it shields the underlying screen from damage, ensuring long-lasting clarity.
Applications of Polycarbonate Films in Displays
Polycarbonate films find applications in various types of displays:
- Smartphones and Tablets: Polycarbonate films serve as protective layers on the screens of mobile devices, safeguarding against scratches and providing excellent optical clarity.
- Televisions: In flat-screen TVs, polycarbonate films contribute to the sharpness and vibrancy of images while offering durability.
- Computer Monitors: PC monitors benefit from polycarbonate films that reduce glare and ensure consistent clarity, enhancing the user experience.
- Automotive Displays: Displays in modern vehicles often use polycarbonate films to provide clear visibility for navigation, entertainment, and driver information systems.
The Future of Displays with Polycarbonate Films
As display technology continues to advance, polycarbonate films are poised to play an even more significant role. Their ability to deliver optical clarity while offering durability aligns perfectly with the demands of emerging technologies like augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) displays. These films can enhance the immersive experience by providing high-quality visuals and reducing optical distortions.
Polycarbonate films have become a cornerstone of the modern display industry, providing the optical clarity and durability needed to deliver exceptional visual experiences. As technology continues to push the boundaries of display quality, polycarbonate films stand as a testament to the crucial role that materials science plays in shaping our digital world, where “crystal clear” is not just an aspiration but an achievable reality. | materials_science |

Although it provided plenty of examples of applications, the German multinational emphasised that it continues to explore new fields in which to innovate.
BASF’s versatility was on full display in the exhibition area adjacent to the assembly hall at the CIDAUT (Centro de Investigación y Desarrollo del Automóvil – Research and Development Center in Transport & Energy) on the Boecillo Technology Park in Valladolid. The star attraction was a velocipede inspired by the original 1865 invention but built using 24 different types of plastic and powered by an electric battery.
BASF combines versatility with sustainability and its influence in this field was the central theme of the day’s first presentation. Sustainability, Toxicology and Environment Manager Dagoberto Schmid emphasised the importance of managing and controlling these parameters throughout the value chain, explaining that this is achieved via “responsible purchasing policies and production models.” Mr Schmid then described what the firm calls Accelerator solutions designed “to help meet demand for individual mobility whilst minimising environmental impact.” He also stressed the firm’s focus on “cutting costs for both producers and end-users,” referring to the company’s advances in fields like batteries, catalytic converters and biodiesel.
The next talk was given by member of the Plastics Engineering Department Johan Martin Szeifert, who described application of a high-performance material ― Ultramid Advanced N ― in electrical and electronic systems. This material’s mechanical properties remain constant between -40 and 100 °C, it minimises water consumption and offers excellent dimensional stability, it is characterised by outstanding chemical resistance and it is easier to process than other polyphthalamides (PPAs).
Mr Szeifert highlighted Ultramid Advanced N’s excellent resistance when storing coolants at high temperatures and gave special mention to its wear and abrasion properties. He ended by stressing its fire-resistance before saying “BASF is already working on new fire-resistant grades.”
Daniel Tarrés and Jaume Heras, representing the Polyurethane Systems department within the Advanced Materials unit, described the role played by polyurethane (PU) in minimising noise, vibration and unwelcome sound in the vehicle interior to enhance acoustic comfort. “It neutralises wind and vehicle chassis noise in various ways ―by insulating, absorbing and dampening. As polyurethane is porous and has a low density, its absorption capacity is enormous,” explained Mr Tarrés.
He then referred to the Cellasto foam and its performance in minimising cockpit vibrations before commenting that PU is cheap and easy to manufacture. “We offer a wide range of compact and medium- and high-density products,” he explained.
Mr Heras then described PU’s multiple applications as a low-density foam in the engine compartment, roof, floor, wheel openings, engine cover, oil tank and various vehicle cavities.
This latter operation is performed after painting the vehicle and before transferring it to the assembly shop. He also mentioned the advantages in terms of shorter process times and, above all, the significant weight savings, which can be as high as 25%. The manager for this new material also mentioned ElastoFoam, a high-density foam with applications in the engine cover, a part for which demands are high because it is visible to end-users.
The foam’s fire-resistant properties mean it is also used as an oil tank coating. Finally, he described ElastoFlex, a flexible viscoelastic foam that offers high acoustic performance and low weight, thereby contributing to emissions reductions.
Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) Manager Francisco Pallás spoke about one of the products that most represents BASF’s range of advanced plastics ― Elastollan. Mr Pallás described thermoplastic polyurethane as a material with high tensile strength and tear resistance as well as being highly resistant to abrasion and impacts at low temperatures. It is a low-viscosity soft-touch product characterised by its pleasant, dry feel. Its main application benefits lie in the design freedom it offers, its long-term stability and its excellent haptic properties.
Mr Pallás listed applications in bearings, boots, shock absorber parts, cabling, connectors and gearstick knobs. He then referred to use of the HPM variant in external applications like windscreen wiper bases and engine compartment parts. This variant is made in a cost-saving two-stroke moulding process. For soft-touch interior applications, like cupholders, aliphatic variants of Elastollan HPM are used. Other noteworthy exterior applications include the airbumps found on several Citroën models.
Among the firm’s latest medium-term developments, Mr Pallás mentioned expanded thermoformed polyurethane, the first of its type in the world. This BASF product is marketed as Infinergy and has applications in machinery and consumer products. However, “We’re looking for automotive applications and ways of meeting the needs of our clients in the sector,” he explained.
The last talk on high-performance plastics was given by Manuel Morgado, who explored solutions based on renewable natural fibres like hemp, wood and kenaf combined with the Acrodur aqueous binder. Using this material can cut weight by 40% when compared with ABS-type plastics and by 20% when compared with polypropylene-reinforced natural fibres (PP). Furthermore, it offers thermomechanical stability at temperatures above 220 °C.
Among BASF’s new composite developments, Acrodur stands out for providing the load capacity and heat resistance required of lightweight components. Various models, among them the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, have benefited from weight reductions of up to 40% by replacing metal with composites, production of which also brings significant time savings.
Finally, BASF’s Coatings Division’s Lorenzo Peña described the i-Gloss anti-scratch clearcoat that keeps vehicles looking as good as new for 10 years. | materials_science |

Some mineral makeup powders actually are labeled with an SPF and call themselves mineral makeup SPF sunscreens. How does this work and is it good enough?
The question of mineral powder sun protection is a really important question and I wanted to share my answer with you.
There is no true definition for the term ‘mineral makeup.
Products can claim to be ‘mineral makeup’ and contain a broad range of ingredients. That is because the term ‘mineral makeup’ is not strictly – or legally – defined as discussed in this article from the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.
Products labeled as ‘mineral makeup’ can be found as loose powders, pressed and baked powders and liquid foundations. They may contain varying amounts of inert mineral particles, meaning particles derived from the earth’s minerals. They may also contain other ingredients such as liquids, fillers and fragrances.
Mineral makeup powders made from mineral particles will scatter some UV rays
All makeup with mineral particles provides some sun protection because mineral particles will scatter UV rays. Mineral particles are also the active ingredients in mineral sunscreens. I think mineral sunscreens, such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, are the best sunscreens for sun protection because of this scattering mechanism of protection. When you layer your skin with mineral particles, they act like little barriers to prevent UV rays from passing into your skin; the UV ray hits a mineral particle and bounces off the particle and back into space – sparing your skin. The simplicity of the mechanism is brilliant!
What is mineral makeup?
The particles in mineral makeup often include zinc oxide and titanium dioxide (our mineral sunscreen minerals) as well as others like iron oxide and even clay. You can see how this layer of minerals on your skin can provide a nice barrier to block UV rays.
Why isn’t mineral makeup powder sunscreen good enough alone to sun protect your skin?
The BIG problem with mineral makeup sunscreen powder is that you want to be free to apply your makeup solely for the look you want to achieve. You don’t want to have to cake on your makeup for sun protection – and that’s what you would need to do! For this reason, as of my update of this post in 2023, the FDA says that more data on mineral makeup powder sunscreen is needed before they will determine if they are safe and effective to protect skin and claim a specific SPF value. I agree.
With any sunscreen, you are only protected if you apply the correct and sufficient amount of sunscreen.
We don’t know what that is for mineral powder but it would need to be a lot!
- The official recommendation for cream and lotion sunscreen is that you need 1 tsp of sunscreen for the “head and neck” in order to get the full SPF of protection from the product. This includes skin surface of the ears, behind the ears, and the back of the neck. It also allows for scalp coverage in someone with hair loss.
- For the average person applying facial sunscreen, I have found that a 1/3 teaspoon amount of mineral SPF 30 sunscreen gives reliable protection for the face. I add another 1/3 tsp for the neck and ears. This of course depends on the size of your face, hairstyle, shirt collar and other factors that impact your exposed skin surface area.
As always, however, you need to be paying attention to how well your sun protection strategy is working; if you notice your skin tanning, then you know that you need to be applying more product. This is why I recommend that you apply mineral zinc oxide sunscreen first and dusting mineral makeup on top.
Mineral makeup applied over sunscreen gives you the best protection.
The IDEAL solution for facial sun protection is to apply a beautiful, mineral-rich makeup over a broad spectrum SPF 30+ mineral zinc oxide sunscreen – you will have 2 layers of protective mineral particles on your skin AND you can create the makeup look that you want to achieve. It’s what I do for my fair 64-ish year old complexion! – Dermatologist Dr. Cynthia Bailey
I use a tinted mineral zinc oxide sunscreen and my mineral makeup powders. Specifically I wear my Sheer Strength Pure Physical Matte Tinted SPF 50+ Sunscreen on my face and apply makeup over it.
Pro-tip: Layer a mineral makeup powder over a tinted zinc oxide sunscreen for the best protection and makeup coverage
I personally layer my mineral makeup powder on top of my tinted sunscreen. I get great coverage. The Matte texture of my sunscreen is a great makeup primer for the powder. It is also formulated with over 3.2% iron oxide to block visible and digital light known to contribute to skin damage and pigment problems. I start my day knowing that my skin is really well protected.
I use my Baked Mineral Makeup Foundation when I wear foundation. Every day I use my Loose Blush and Eye Trio. These products are gentle for the most sensitive skin.
