Biobased Re-Revolution of Plastics/Chemicals; New York, May 23-25

Why Revolution: It’s Raw-Materials; WASTE(s) that are Bio-Based/Sustainable or Climate Harming GASES; not PetroBased ……………………………………………………………………………………….. 2-Compelling Reasons Why You Must Attend 1. Traditional & New Polymers: Biobased building blocks are enabling the manufacture of traditional polymers (Polyolefins/Polyesters/Nylons) as well as newer polymers such as PEF (vs PET for packaging) and Nylon 410 to name a few. 2. Environment Re-Engineering: Bill Gates funds $14M for Plantro-Chemicals and heads-up a $1 Billion fund to fight climate change.  a. LAND Pollution: Building blocks for polymers are being made via forest and municipal WASTES as opposed to petro-based chemicals b. CLIMATE Pollution: In further support to worldwide Paris-2015 agreement on climate control, Bill Gates will be heading a $1 Billion fund to fight climate change. Use of biobased-renewable raw materials to make polymers, especially the greenhouse gases (CO2 and CH4), is a step ...

Hair's Strength Inspires New Polymer for Body Armor

Image
Researchers have studied why human hair is so strong to inform the design of new synthetic materials, including polymers for body armor. Observations researchers have made about why human hair is so strong and resistant to breaking could form the basis for the   development of new synthetic materials   , including polymers that could be well-suited for body armor. Human hair has a strength-to-weight ratio comparable to steel and can be stretched up to one and a half times its original length before breaking. Understanding why this is so was the aim of a cross-disciplinary team of mechanical engineers and nanoengineers at the University of California San Diego. Researchers observed at the nanoscale level how a strand of human hair behaves when it is deformed, or stretched. What they found was that hair behaves differently depending on how fast or slow it is stretched; the faster hair is stretched, the stronger it is, they said. Marc Meyers, a professor of mechanical en...
