#SmartPlasticIsFantastics #ZeroPlasticsIsInsane #PlasticsForCharityEvents #ParisPragmaticAvantgard Paris major claims loudly her, unattainable insane , imaginary project , for zero plastics ! BUT reality is that this fake project is only for dogmatic, anti-science and eventually corrupted persons or organizations. In real life plastics are the best solutions for the use they are chosen, compared to other materials. Today these cups were successfully distributed to the thirsty participant to a special charity run into the frame of the pink October for the fight against breast cancer. What better matching clever behaviour with charity, and blocking at the same time insane political decisions animated only from dogmatic principles. Parisian citizens are for the 85% not represented by these dogmatic politicians and once again they behave differently and pragmatically to show that the city of Paris is at the avant-garde in many areas.

On 15 April, Michelin, the CNRS, and the University of Strasbourg inaugurated the SpinLab associated research laboratory. This Strasbourg-based endeavour is dedicated to the study of the electrospinning process for the optimal production of nanofibrous materials, such as adhesives or filtration membranes. Over the span of four years, these teams will collaborate to develop an innovative electrospinning platform, with the aim of creating novel and distinctive fibrous materials tailored for diverse applications in mobility, energy, and environmental sectors – including tyres. The joint research project, conducted at the Institute of Chemistry and Processes for Energy, Environment, and Health (CNRS/University of Strasbourg), focuses on the manipulation of nanofibers during their deposition through a process akin to ‘electrostatic weaving’. To achieve this objective, the teams will delve into the study of physical phenomena to engineer materials characterised by a fibrous structure organised in three dimensions, as opposed to a random configuration. Unlike traditional textile technologies that rely on mechanical forces to shape and deposit fibres, the electrospinning process harnesses electrostatic forces. Here, fibres are formed, stretched, and propelled onto a substrate at high velocity under the influence of an intense electric field. This method yields continuous fibres with diameters ranging from 100 to 1,000 times thinner than a strand of hair, which are then assembled into a ‘mat’, a non-woven textile resembling a cotton veil in its random structure. This collaborative effort will prioritise two main objectives: • The development of an innovative electrospinning platform to investigate the physical and physico-chemical mechanisms governing the production of multi-component nanofibrous materials, allowing precise control over their morphology and composition. • The utilisation of electrospinning techniques and eco-friendly methodologies to engineer ‘mats’ with specific attributes tailored for diverse applications. Specific emphasis will be placed on applications in hydrogen and zero-emission mobility, in addition to adhesives. The research conducted by the SpinLab associated research laboratory holds promising implications for various fields, including medicine (such as biomimetic implants for tissue engineering, wound dressings), environmental protection (air filters, liquid filtration membranes), and energy (fuel cell membranes, supercapacitor electrodes). For Michelin, these advancements will notably address two key challenges: the enhancement of structural reinforcement through electrospun mats, facilitating the optimisation of composites while minimising material usage, and the utilisation of non-woven membranes for their permeability and electrical conductivity properties. Notably, the latter can be impregnated with active agents to impart additional functionalities. The establishment of SpinLab ow

🇬🇧 Graphenano more than doubles delamination resistance with polyester and vinyl ester-epoxy resins, revolutionizing the composites sector. Improvement in durability: If the interlaminar strength more than doubles, we can expect a significant reduction in the delamination rate. Assuming delamination is the primary cause of failure and that the original lifespan of the part was 10 years, the increase in interlaminar strength could extend the lifespan to approximately 15-20 years, depending on loading and usage conditions. Increased load capacity: Suppose the part originally withstood a maximum load of 5000 N before failing. With the increase in interlaminar strength, this capacity could increase to 7500-10000 N. This increase in load capacity also contributes to a longer lifespan, especially in high-tension applications. resistance: If we consider that the part had impact resistance that allowed it to withstand up to 10 impacts of a certain magnitude before failing, with the increase in interlaminar strength, the part could withstand up to 20-25 impacts of the same magnitude. Improvement in mechanical properties: With an increase in fatigue resistance, if the part could withstand 1 million load cycles before failing, with the improvement in interlaminar strength, this capacity could increase to 2-3 million load cycles. Reduction in maintenance costs: If originally maintenance interventions were required every 2 years, with the improvement in interlaminar strength, these interventions could be spaced out to every 4-5 years, significantly reducing operating costs over the lifespan of the part. Design optimization: With greater interlaminar strength, the part can be designed with less material, reducing the weight by 10-20% without compromising durability. This is especially important in applications where weight is critical, such as aviation and automotive. Reliability and safety: By reducing the likelihood of failure, the reliability of the part increases, which can translate into a 30-40% improvement in the operational safety of the structure that uses the carbon fiber or fiberglass part. #Graphene #Graphenano #Composites #PolyesterResin #VinylEsterResin #EpoxyResin #MaterialsScience #Innovation #Technology #AdvancedMaterials #Engineering #Manufacturing #Aerospace #Automotive #Nanotechnology #Revolution #Industry40 #Sustainability #HighPerformanceMaterials #CompositeMaterials #MaterialInnovation #TechTrends #R&D #FutureOfMaterials #EngineeringExcellenceImpact

Plastics Europe’s report on production clearly demonstrates that the falling competitiveness of European Producers threatens the circular transition. We already see EU manufacturing plants being shut down, leading to offshoring of industry jobs and sustainable investment in production. We need urgent intervention from policymakers to reduce the regulatory burden and level the playing field to regain our competitiveness and enable investment towards a circular plastic system.

📢 Announcing our next Topical Meeting at EOSAM 2024: TOM6 - Optical Materials Optical materials are vital for multiple current and future industrial applications and continuously generate important investigations with major scientific and technological challenges. For example, in many fields of photonics, the fabrication and structuring of thin films at the micro and nanometric scale is essential, such as for optical nanoantennas and metasurfaces. Simple and easy-to-implement techniques such as the sol-gel processes and solution-based synthesis, and costly ones such as epitaxy, MOVPE, laser ablation (PLD), and rf sputtering are commonly used to produce different optical materials. Correlation between the material optical characteristics and its structural, compositional, and morphological properties is of great importance. Eventually, there are significant needs to develop innovative techniques for the fabrication of new materials, as well as to develop simple and efficient characterization techniques. These needs have given rise to multidisciplinary research with the ambition to provide optical materials and devices from an approach linking the desired performances to the nano and micro structure. Invited speakers in this TOM: - Thierry Cardinal: How exotic oxide glasses can provide solutions for integrated optics - Lars Österlund: Wide-angle transmitting and solar light modulating yttrium Mie resonators: Yttrium hydroxide coated glass nanopillars - Zhenda Xie: Broadband Kerr comb generation using Lithium niobate on insulator microresonator - Maria Antonietta Vincenti: From gradient index optics to tunable ENZ: an iontronic approach More information: https://lnkd.in/dG2kHb5E Register for the conference to secure your spot at these insightful presentations! 🗓️ Early Bird Deadline: July 8, 2024 🔗 Registration Link: https://lnkd.in/dGTACket #EOSAM2024 #OpticalMaterials #Photonics #Optics #Conference #Naples
