The global solvent systems market for closed-loop plastics recycling is poised for significant expansion, with projected ...

Organic thermoelectric devices (OTEs) convert waste heat into useful electric power, but they are not yet efficient enough for practical use. KAUST researchers have now developed a tool that predicts ...

The polyester precipitates from the solvent upon cooling, and can likewise be reused. In tests conducted so far, it has been possible to recover up to 100% of the cotton and 97% of the polyester. "The ...

Multilayer plastic materials are ubiquitous in food and medical supply packaging, particularly since layering polymers can give those films specific properties, like heat resistance or oxygen and ...

Daily solvent use is pretty much a given in a synthetic chemistry lab. In academic laboratories, it’s such an ingrained part of research that chemists might forget that solvents can be serious safety ...

In the demanding world of aircraft and aerospace component manufacturing, highly effective precision cleaning is vital from ...

We are willing to consider all solvents for this program. Currently, methanol, ethanol and acetone are distilled on campus. If your lab generates other solvent waste, contact EH&S to see if they may ...

Acetone is a colorless solvent that can be found in products, such as nail polish and paint remover. Solvents are substances that can break down or dissolve other materials. Risks of use include ...
