Scientists Introduce a New Green Technology for Polyurethane Production

Image
Scientists at South Ural State University are working with an industrial partner to create a new branch of the chemical industry in the Chelyabinsk Region. Within the Ural Research Centre project, it is planned to introduce new green technology for polyurethane production and build a plant in the Chelyabinsk Region that will provide high-tech jobs for chemists, chemical technologists, and environmentalists. Isocyanate-free PU Production SUSU began cooperation with the Modern Insulation Technologies plant, which produces thermally insulated pipes for heat pipelines of housing and communal services as well as oil and gas transportation. Polyurethane foam is used for pipe insulation. Polyurethane is the most widespread polymer in the world and is used to manufacture a wide range of products in a variety of industries: clothing, footwear, furniture, and heat insulation. "Three countries are the largest producers of polyurethane in the world: Germany, USA, and China, but now imports fr

Sumitomo Chemical to Unveil New Family of LFT Liquid Crystal Polymers

Image
  Sumitomo Chemical Advanced Technologies has developed and will soon commercialize a new family of long-fiber thermoplastic (LFT) compounds with high-performance liquid crystal polymer (LCP) matrices reinforced with 13-mm chopped carbon fiber or fiberglass. Enhancing the Thermal and Mechanical Performance: The new materials are currently undergoing customer evaluations in several industries and developmental quantities of two grades — SUMIKASUPER™ SCG-379 with 30-50% fiber-weight fraction (FWF) E-glass and SUMIKASUPER™ SCG-420 with 30-40% FWF high-modulus carbon fiber — are available to interested parties for testing. An LCP matrix and the option for carbon fiber reinforcement will significantly upgrade the thermal and mechanical performance available from LFT technology and the products are being targeted to replace alloys of aluminum and magnesium as well as steel. The vast majority of all commercial LFT products feature fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene (PP), although higher temp

The hydrogen scooter from BMW Partner TVS Motors

BMW G 310 models are manufactured at TVS in India, TVS also acquired the English motorcycle brand Norton. The latest development in India is the fuel cell scooter. The iQube electric scooter from TVS, which can be pre-ordered in India, is still fairly new. Prices: converted from about 1400 euros. Deliveries of the top version of the iQube ST, which will operate at speeds above 80 km/h and have a range of 145 km, are scheduled to begin in August 2022. With a capacity of 4.5 kWh in the battery pack. A fuel cell instead of a battery The next advancement appears to be a fuel cell version, which is currently being developed at TVS. A big advantage of fuel cell technology: Hydrogen is refueled within a few minutes, as was previously the case with gasoline, which means the batteries do not need to be charged for hours. A relatively simple arrangement of components can be seen in the now-leaked patent drawing: Two hydrogen gas tanks are almost vertical under the handlebars, covered with plasti

SABIC Unveils SMT-Capable PEI-based Resin for Lighter 5G Macro Cells

Image
  This new product addresses the growing trend toward smaller, lighter 5G macro cells by providing a possible replacement for metal. For example, ULTEM™ 3473 resin can help reduce the weight of an aluminum radio frequency (RF) cavity filter by up to 40 percent. In a typical macro cell with 64 filters, this weight saving can be significant. Furthermore, this new resin can help facilitate the design of new, integrated antenna filter units (AFUs), which is not achievable with metal. Using injection molding, the dipole antenna matrix and RF cavity filter body can be produced as one piece. This approach simplifies production and may lead to additional weight savings and system cost reductions. "During the close collaboration with the industry’s leading companies, we have witnessed a growing number of 5G infrastructure manufacturers validating the use of lighter materials to make it easier and faster to assemble, transport, and install these components," said David Wang, senior bus

US chemical industry responsible for 25% of the country’s GDP

Image
  The chemical industry in the US was responsible for $5.2 trillion (£4.3 trillion) – or approximately a quarter of the country’s GDP – and employed 4.1 million people in the country in 2020, according to a new analysis released by the US National Academies. The report, two years in the making, was drafted by a panel chaired by Mark Wrighton, a chemist and the president of George Washington University. A report commissioned by the Royal Society of Chemistry and published in 2010 found that the chemical sciences contributed £258 billion to the UK’s economy – a fifth of the country’s GDP. The European Chemical Industry Council recently estimated that the UK chemicals industry annually invests more than £5.9 billion in R&D, which accounts for over 22% of the nation’s total spending in this area. ‘The role of chemistry in the US economy is extraordinarily large,’ Wrighton stated at the report’s launch. He emphasised that strengthening investment in chemical research could stimulate eco

Global Hydrogen Pipelines Outlook to 2026

Image
  Global Hydrogen Pipelines Outlook to 2026 • A total of 17 planned and announced hydrogen pipelines are expected to come online during the outlook period 2022–2026 • Of these, 4 represent planned pipelines with identified development plans, while the remaining 13 are early-stage announced pipelines that are undergoing conceptual studies but are expected to get development approvals • Europe dominates globally with 11 planned and announced hydrogen pipelines are expected to start operations during the outlook period. The total length of these pipelines is expected to be 1,955 km. Asia follows with three hydrogen pipelines expected to start operations by 2026 (total length of 193 km) • Among countries, Denmark leads globally with a planned and announced hydrogen pipeline length of 800 km from 2022 to 2026. The Netherlands and Italy follow with pipeline lengths of 545 km and 440 km, respectively • In terms of new-build capital expenditure (CAPEX), Europe unsurprisingly leads with a CAPEX
