The future of hypersonic manufacturing depends on more than innovative system design - it requires the ability to produce hypersonic composite structures at the speed, quality and scale demanded by today’s national security environment. Today, #AlbanyEngineeredComposites is proud to announce a strategic partnership with #LockheedMartin focused on advancing scalable manufacturing for next-generation hypersonic systems, supporting United States Department of War priorities. At the core of this effort is the ability to translate advanced composite technologies into production-ready, scalable manufacturing processes. Albany’s advanced 3D-woven composite technology provides a critical manufacturing advantage by enabling cost-effective hypersonic missile aeroshells, enabling highly integrated structures, repeatable production and efficient near-net-shape manufacturing. By combining Lockheed Martin’s proven systems integration expertise with Albany’s leadership in advanced composite manufac...

A new labeling technology from #Securikett replaces conventional heat sealing with a secure #labelingsolution . The system combines multiple functions in a single label, offering a solution that is safer, faster, and more cost-efficient than traditional heat-sealing processes. This multifunctional label solution integrates several technologies: structured #adhesivecoatings , built-in VOID technology, precisely applied #siliconecoatings , and custom die-cutting. The interaction of these components creates a packaging solution that unites security, functionality, and regulatory compliance in a single design. The tamper-evident seal immediately indicates if a package has been opened or tampered with, thanks to an integrated #VOIDeffect . At the same time, functional elements such as ventilation holes or viewing windows can be directly incorporated into the label. #Lidlabel with VOID effect and ventilation holes for #tray and cup packaging A key innovation lies in the sealing method: in...

LyondellBasell (LYB) faced exactly these problems on pelletizers driven by 120-hp motors through conventional gear couplings. Gear couplings require regular lubrication and are subject to wear as gear teeth slide during meshing. Flexible-insert couplings carry their own risks, with inserts prone to wear and breakage. The core engineering challenge: any replacement coupling had to accommodate up to 0.690 inches of total axial movement — including shaft retraction for startup, shutdown, and maintenance — without generating axial forces that could overwhelm the hydraulic knife positioning system. Coupling Corporation of America recommended its FLEXXOR coupling, a diaphragm-based design that transmits torque throu...

A Common Silicon Foundation: At their core, both silanes and #disilazanes are built around silicon atoms capable of interacting with inorganic surfaces such as glass, silica, metals, ceramics, and mineral substrates. Traditional organofunctional #silanes contain hydrolysable alkoxy groups, while disilazanes contain a characteristic Si–N–Si linkage. The most widely known example is Hexamethyldisilazane (BRB HMDZ). Different Structures, Similar Objectives Although silanes and disilazanes differ structurally, they often achieve similar goals: surface modification, hydrophobisation, adhesion enhancement, and the formation of durable silicon-containing surface layers. Both can ultimately form strong silicon-oxygen bonds with inorganic surfaces. Why Disilazanes React Faster Silanes, such as the BRB Silanil® range, typically release alcohols during hydrolysis, whereas disilazanes generate ammonia. Because the Si–N bond is highly susceptible to hydrolysis, disilazanes often react more rapidl...

In addition to climate-related stresses, feeding damage caused by cockchafer larvae and, increasingly, by the invasive Japanese beetle poses a significant threat to the success of large-scale reforestation efforts. he #BioROOTGUARD research project therefore aims to develop a #biodegradableplasticfilm that protects tree roots during the establishment phase, reducing the sometimes substantial regional losses caused by these pests while avoiding environmental impacts.  To achieve this goal, a consortium of industry and research partners, led by #FKuR Kunststoff GmbH brings together expertise in materials development, forestry science, and environmental research within the framework of the BioROOTGUARD project. The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Regional Identity (BMLEH) through the Agency for Renewable Resources (Fachagentur Nachwachsende Rohstoffe, FNR) under the Sustainable Renewable Resources funding programme.  Protection and biod...
