A team of researchers recently published a paper in the Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry that demonstrated the preparation of self-healing, fatigue-resistant, and antifreeze supramolecular hydrogels for stretchable sensors using a simple one-step method.
New research focuses on creating sustainable superhydrophobic coating materials using nanofluids based on easily accessible materials like silica (SiO2) nanoparticles.
For the first time, scientists have discovered a method to imbue sustainable paper materials with the beneficial properties of plastic. This could be done in a simple, effective, and efficient manner. A coating known as Choetsu not only waterproofs paper but also retains its flexibility and degrades safely.
Researchers have developed a waterproof paper coating that makes it behave like plastic – but still break down once it's used.
A recent empirical study of continuous manufacturing (CM) versus batch processing of US and non‑US pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities suggests that CM would be more economical than batch facilities, at least for the production of oral solid dosage products. Dr Clifford Rossi explains more...
