Dielectric Strength What is dielectric strength? Dielectric strength reflects the electric strength of insulating materials at various power frequencies. It measures the dielectric breakdown resistance under an applied voltage. It is an indicator of how good a material is as an insulator. What are the units of dielectric strength? Dielectric strength is expressed as volts

IIncreasingly demanding end use & regulation requirements (high temp. resistance, larger pipes, REACH regulations on tin stabilizers…) continue to push for higher performance rigid PVC yet at lower cost. However, lack of experience could lead to wasting time on trial & error, higher scrap rates, selecting wrong additives resulting into higher cost. Additionally with almost

ice University researchers have developed a smart material that adjusts its transparency with changes in temperature, outperforming similar materials in terms of durability, transparency and responsiveness. The new polymer blend could significantly enhance energy efficiency for indoor space cooling, according to a new study published in Joule. Becomes Less Transparent as the Day Gets Warmer

CARBIOS and SASA, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of polyester, fiber, filament yarn, polyester-based polymers, specialty polymers, and intermediates, have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to explore a partnership. This partnership involves SASA’s potential acquisition of a license for CARBIOS’ unique PET biorecycling technology. Enzymatic Depolymerization Plant with Capacity of 100,000 Tons Per

A new research initiative aims to produce eco-friendly bioplastic films reinforced with nanocellulose derived from the Backcross Abaca with Native and Desirable Accessions to Lift Up the Abaca Industry (BANDALA) abaca hybrid. Alternative to Synthetic or Petroleum-based Bioplastic Films BANDALA is an abaca hybrid developed by the University of Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) that has

Researchers at the Fraunhofer IFAM have developed a new polymer patch that can significantly accelerate and simplify repair processes on damaged lightweight aircraft components. Repairing aircraft components is typically a laborious, expensive, and time-consuming process. The thermoformable, recyclable repair patch is pressed onto the damaged area and fully sets in just 30 minutes. The innovative

A room-temperature method to decompose perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) using visible LED light offers a promising solution for sustainable fluorine recycling and PFAS treatment. Researchers at Ritsumeikan University achieved a 100% breakdown of perfluorooctanesulfonate (a type of PFAS) in just eight hours and an 81% breakdown of Nafion (a fluoropolymer) in 24 hours. This innovative approach
