For much the same reason LCD televisions offer eye-popping performance, a thermomagnetic processing method developed at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) can advance the performance of polymers.
Michelman has been chosen to be part of a 122-member consortium that will make up the new Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation (IACMI).
Based on its recent analysis of the carbon nanotubes market, Frost & Sullivan has recognized OCSiAl Group with the 2014 North American Award for Technology Innovation for its OCSiAl TUBALL™ products.
Researchers have developed a coating technique that they plan to use to protect turbine engine and waste incinerator components against heat and oxidation. A topcoat from micro-scaled hollow aluminum oxide spheres provides heat insulation, in the lab, already proved more economical than conventional techniques.
By using liquid salts during formation instead of harsh chemicals, fibers that conduct electricity can be strengthened, according to a patent issued to a team of researchers at The University of Alabama.
Michelman celebrated the grand opening of its new Advanced Materials Collaboration Center (AMCC) on October 2, 2014, at the company’s global headquarters in Cincinnati.
