A Rapidly Self-Healing Polymer for Wearable Devices
Researchers from the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology report a novel self-healing polymer that undergoes rapid self-healing by aromatic disulfide metathesis. More than 75% of the initial mechanical properties are restored within only 2 hours, making it a promising material for the wearable electronics industry.
Value from Wastewater
Sewage sludge contains lots of valuable elements. Now, researchers are looking at ways in which wastewater treatment facilities can use it effectively.
Unlocking the Growth of Thin Films on Polymers
Key global research that is unlocking the secrets to coatings on polymer substrates is summarized and discussed.
Post-Deformation Annealing to Optimize Magnesium Alloys
A new concept to solve the ductility problem of SPD-processed magnesium alloys was examined by using a ZK60 magnesium alloy processed by high-pressure torsion to obtain an HSHD material.
Halogen-Free and Flame-Retardant
Lanxess offers alternatives to compounds with halogen-based flame retardants
New from Old: Auspicious Renewable Raw Material
Waste from paper and pulp industry supplies raw material for the development of new redox flow batteries.
Multiscale Memory and Bioelectric Error Correction in the Cytoplasm-Cytoskeleton-Membrane System
Pattern regulation, as observed in regeneration and development, enables cells to cooperate toward the creation and maintenance of complex anatomies. This image shows planaria, of which every piece has the information needed to restore a complete planarian target morphology.
Reinventing Wood
Wood could potentially replace petrol in chemistry and concrete in construction, according to studies conducted under the Swiss Research Programme “Resource Wood”.
Superhydrophobic Smart Coating for Wearable Electronic Devices
Ting Zhang and co-workers from the Suzhou Institute of Nano-Tech and Nano-Bionics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences develop a novel superhydrophobic and piezoresistive coating for wearable sensing devices. The coating is durable in harsh conditions and can be used to detect real-time human movement when fabricated as a wearable strain sensor.
