Paperworld Middle East, the fastest-growing show of its kind

Paperworld Middle East, the fastest-growing show of its kind in the world, and its co-located event, Gifts and Lifestyle Middle East, have been opened and are expected to welcome 10,000 visitors over three days.

Rubber-like materials can exhibit both spring-like and flow-like behaviors simultaneously, which contributes to their exceptional damping abilities.

Rubber-like materials have outstanding damping properties because they can concurrently display flow-like and spring-like characteristics. Recently, Japanese researchers have created a novel technique that combines dynamic micro X-Ray computed tomography with dynamic mechanical analysis to better understand the dynamic viscoelasticity of these materials.

Plastic waste that accumulates on land eventually ends up in the ocean as microplastics. However, it is now speculated that microplastics are also present in the atmosphere, contained in clouds. In a new study, researchers analyzed cloud water samples from high-altitude mountains in Japan to ascertain the amount of microplastics in them. They also shed light on how these airborne particles influence cloud formation and their negative impact on the climate.
