Today's KNOWLEDGE Share

Hengshen’s carbon fibre materials are used in a 143-meter-long wind turbine blade.The blade is 143 meters long and has an impeller diameter of 292 meters. It is one of the wind turbine blades with the largest impeller diameter in the world. 


The carbon fibre fabric used in this blade is exclusively supplied by China’s Hengshen which has annual production capacity of 5,000 tons of carbon fibre. The product portfolio covers raw silk, carbon fibre, sizing agents, fabrics, liquid resins, adhesives, prepregs, carbon fibre composite parts, and aviation composite structural parts. 

In 2021, Hengshen’s 24K carbon fibre, fabric and carbon plate products obtained DNV certification from the international authoritative certification agency, becoming the first domestic carbon fibre unit to obtain this certification. Up to now, Hengshen has supplied products such as carbon fibre pultruded sheets and warp-knitted fabrics in batches to domestic and foreign wind turbine manufacturers such as Envision Energy, Shanghai Electric, and Mingyang Smart Energy.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : Researchers Create Deployable Silk Fibers for Adhering and Lifting Objects

-

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share The stream of liquid silk quickly turns to a strong fiber that sticks to and lifts objects These sticky fibers, created at the Tufts University Silklab, come from silk moth cocoons, which are boiled in solution and broken down into their building block proteins called fibroin.The silk fibroin solution can be extruded through narrow bore needles to form a stream that, with the right additives, solidifies into a fiber when exposed to air.  Nature is the original inspiration for deploying fibers of silk into tethers, webs, and cocoons. Spiders, ants, wasps, bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, and even flies can produce silk at some point in their lifecycle.Nature also inspired the Silklab to pioneer the use of silk fibroin to make powerful glues that can work underwater, printable sensors that can be applied to virtually any surface, edible coatings that can extend the shelf life of produce,a light collecting material...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : biobased content of polycarbonate diols

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share MCG increases biomass content of polycarbonate diols Mitsubishi Chemical Group (MCG) has introduced grades of its Benebiol biomass-based polycarbonate diols that have a higher biomass content. The product is primarily used in the manufacture of polyurethane resins for coatings in sectors such as automotive, furniture and outdoor products. It is also used in the production of artificial leather. Existing Benebiol grades had a bio-based content of 20-50%, but the new HSS and NLDS grades have a biomass content in excess of 80%. Some of its previous petroleum-derived grades have also been converted to biomass, as the NLS grades. This, the company said, allows it to offer bio-based grades of all its Benebiol products. The shift to biomass-based raw materials while maintaining high-quality functions will contribute to our customers’ efforts to achieve sustainable manufacturing. source:MCG/www.utech-polyurethane.com
