  • Meld USA, maker of ecoX, recently launched a new surface material called Micro, which is made with up to 74% pre-consumer recycled content in Raleigh, North Carolina.  The product, which can help contribute toward several LEED credits, is available in slabs of 30" x 96" x 1.5" or in over-sized custom slabs.  Micro can also be custom fabricated into a variety of applications.  Possible applications include countertops, table tops, wall panels, display tops, back splashes, sinks, tubs, furniture, fixtures, or anything similar.  Meld makes Micro is six standard colors and myriad personalized hues.  Similar to the Refined Collection from IceStone, Micro is made with smaller granulated pieces of recycled glass, as opposed to the chunky glass shards in some composite surfaces, to give the material a more uniform look.  It's a "sophisticated and refined aesthetic," according to Meld.

  • MicroGREEN, developer of the Ad-air technology that makes this possible, can use different types of plastic resins and expand them for use in various applications. This expansion technology means that as little as 20 percent of the typically required amount of plastic can be used to create a traditional solid plastic.

  • Inventors with the Agricultural Resource Service, the chief scientific research agency for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, have discovered a way to turn common starches such as potatoes, wheat and corn into a polystyrene substitute. Polystyrene, also know as plastic #6, is used in products such as packing and construction materials, as well as disposable dinnerware. This new finding may offer a way to replace non-biodegradable polystyrene with a more eco-friendly alternative.

  • Alkemi feature, metals — By Blaine Brownell on September 28, 2009 at 8:00 am Alkemi is a recycled composite material composed of a minimum of sixty percent postindustrial scrap aluminum and polymeric resins for use as a solid surface material. It is strong, durable, and exquisite to the eye. Alkemi offers a fresh and innovative alternative to the traditional commercial options such as plastic laminate, stone, and glass. Alkemi may be sanded and buffed to a matte or a high-gloss surface, and the material can be cut and shaped using conventional woodworking tools.

Paper super-capacitors bring forth a future with electronics made of paper - 1 views

advanced materials paper super capacitors

  • Ever dreamt of a paper world with all your electronics made out of paper? You don’t need to be an origami fan to dream about things like that anymore. Paper electronics might just pop up in the future, thanks to the researches at Stanford University, who’ve come up with a technology to make this dream into a reality. Paper super capacitors have been stumbled upon by printing carbon nanotubes onto paper. These can be printed onto everything and involves the coating of both sides of a piece of paper with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). The treated paper bonds to the super capacitor, just like ink and paper bonding and works efficiently, with minimal capacitance loss after 2500 charge-discharge cycles. If all goes well, the future might have electronic devices made of paper, that we can dispose of easily when out of use and recycle, keeping away the trouble of recycling e-waste that we face today.

  • The Center for Composite Materials has synthesized flexible/rigid polyurethane foams from soybean oil polyols. The advantage of these foams is that they can replace petroleum-based materials (synthetic polyols) and can be used for many applications. The morphology of the foams can be controlled by several factors: the type and functionality of the soybean oil polyols, the type of curing agents, the amount of water, and the amount of catalyst. Both flexible and rigid foams can be developed from vegetable oils by implementing different processes. The biocontent of the foams varies from 33 to 96 weight percent. The use of this biodegradable, locally harvested, and renewable source has economic and environmental advantages that make it an attractive alternative to petroleum-based materials.
