The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing one-time reporting and record-keeping requirements on nanoscale chemical substances in the marketplace.
Excellent clarity through control of the particle size and balance of flow and leveling through thixotropic behavior can be achieved with these rheology control agents.
Wrapping wound dressings around fingers and toes can be tricky, but for burn victims, guarding them against infection is critical. Scientists are reporting the development of novel, ultrathin coatings called nanosheets that can cling to the body’s most difficult-to-protect contours and keep bacteria at bay.
A new PTFE/NanoDiamond coating with twice the durability and up to 66% less friction than current products has the potential to cost-effectively reduce CO2 output and fuel demand, as well as to improve equipment lifespan in industries such as automotive, aerospace and industrial machinery.
