Plasma is the New Green
(11 Mar 2010)
Ionized gas improves treatment of PET fibers
A more environmentally friendly process to treat textile fibers that are used in garments, carpets, curtains, and other applications has recently been reported by researchers from the University of Torino (Italy) in the journal ChemSusChem. The ...

On the Death of Polymers
(24 Feb 2010)
Revisiting Termination Rate Coefficients in Radical Homopolymerization
Although radical polymerization is used in the synthesis of about half the world’s polymers, details of exactly what is going on in the reaction soup in complex industrial settings have been sketchy at best. As the materials enter our lives as, for ...

Spying on Plastic Production
(08 Jan 2010)
On-line Monitoring of Particle Growth in Catalytic Polyethylene Slurries
Real-time monitoring of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) production is now possible. In an article in the journal Macromolecular Reaction Engineering, Professor Rolf Mülhaupt and his student Rainer Xalter of Albert-Ludwigs University in Freiburg, ...

Carbon Nanotube Sponges: Tough Water-Repellent Sponges Absorb Oils and Solvents up to 180 Times Their Own Weight
(10 Nov 2009)
Scientists have invented a carbon-based sponge that can soak up organic pollutants, such as oils and solvents, from the surface of water. No water is absorbed and the sponge can then be wrung out and reused, like an ordinary household sponge. ...

Micromuscles: Micrometer-Sized Actuators from Liquid-crystal Elastomers
(12 Aug 2009)
To move your arm or leg, certain muscles need to change shape, to either lengthen or contract. Now scientists have made liquid-crystalline particles that can change shape in a similar way, but which are only micrometers across. Professor Rudolf ...

Nanotubes Go With the Flow
(25 Jan 2008)
Nanochannels impose order by capillary action
Carbon nanotubes are attractive candidates for use as the active elements in the next generation of electronic devices. However, it has proven incredibly difficult to align nanotubes within device architectures. Most of the approaches for lining up ...

Solar Cells Can Take the Heat
(11 Jan 2008)
Binary ionic liquid electrolytes enable production of solvent-free solar cells
Solar cells have attracted global attention as one of the cornerstones of alternative energy. In theory, it seems to make abundant sense to tap into the energy of the sun to convert light to electricity with little or no emission of noxious ...

Bouncing Bucky Balls
(18 Oct 2007)
Bucky balls have the moves
C60 molecules have an intriguing ball-shaped structure that suggests several interesting possibilities for motion on surfaces. Indeed, researchers have found that the passage of electrons through a bucky ball in a transistor is correlated to the ...

Unmasking DNA
(04 Sep 2007)
DNA used as a template for nanolithography
DNA is one of the most popular building blocks of nanotechnology and is commonly used to construct ordered nanoscale structures with controlled architectures. For the most part, DNA is looked upon as a promising building block for fabricating ...

Explosive Crystal
(28 Aug 2007)
Three hundred years after its discovery, the crystal structure and molecular structure of mercury fulminate are determined
Known to the alchemists and long used as a detonator to set off dynamite - mercury fulminate has a checkered past. Now, more than 300 years after the discovery of this explosive compound, German researchers have been able to characterize its crystal ...
