The Effects of Recycling on the Structure and Properties of Carbon Nanotube-Filled Polycarbonate
Zhang J., Panwar A., Bello D., Isaacs J.A., Jozokos T., Mead 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
Ma Y., Kim D., Wu M-S, Bai L., Gao X., Qing B., He J., Lib X., Nutt S.R., Liang B., 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 [...]
