The Effects of Recycling on the Structure and Properties of Carbon Nanotube-Filled Polycarbonate
Bello D., Isaacs J.A., Jozokos T., Mead J., Panwar A., Zhang J., University of Massachusetts-Lowell, US
Sustainable manufacturing processes are becoming more important in industrial practice. A critical part of the manufacturing process is understanding the recycling behavior of nanocomposite materials, particularly as more recycled plastic nanocomposites are entering the market [...]
Development and Performance of Recyclable Composites for Wind Turbine Blades
Bai L., Gao X., He J., Kim D., Liang B., Lib X., Ma Y., Nutt S.R., Qing B., Wu M-S, Adesso Advanced Materials Inc., US
Wind energy has become an increasingly important renewable energy source. In 2015 alone, the U.S. wind industry installed wind turbines generating 8,595 MW, a 77 % increase over 2014 [1], and the market growth is [...]
A Novel Composite Nanostructured Calcium Silicate – Calcium Carbonate Material Produced from Geothermal Water and its Environmental Remediation and Industry Applications
We have developed a novel nanostructured calcium silicate – calcium carbonate composite material with excellent whiteness, chemical reactivity and physical absorbent properties, from the problematic silica contained in separated geothermal water. It is an environmentally [...]
FastOx® Gasification: An Integrated Solution to Zero Waste
Sierra Energy aims to eliminate landfills and generate renewable energy by making waste gasification globally accessible. To meet this goal, Sierra Energy developed FastOx®, a gasification technology capable of converting nearly any waste into low-carbon [...]
