• A membrane-free lithium/polysulfide semi-liquid battery for large-scale energy storage

  Scientists in the US have developed a new lithium/polysulfide (Li/PS) semi-liquid battery for large-scale energy storage, with lithium polysulfide (Li2S8) in ether solvent as a catholyte and metallic lithium as an anode. As the catholyte is designed to cycle only in the range between sulfur and Li2S more

• Ceresana: Market study Carbon Black

  We forecast global demand for Carbon Black to rise dynamically: market volume is expected to increase by more than 3.1 million tonnes until 2019. The major share of Carbon Black consumption is processed in the production of tires of all sorts; this segment consumed over 7.8 million tonnes in 2011. C more

• DKSH Performance Materials identifies key suppliers
  

  In 2007 an Italian customer of DKSH that produces high-tech chemistry for applications in the electronics field told us about their problems in expanding their business. While they were very successful in their home market, they had difficulties selling the same products to customers abroad more

• Bearing grease selection

  Rolling-element bearings are used for the precise guidance of moving parts. Frictional losses are extremely small because the bearings rest on rolling elements, enabling very heavy loads to be adsorbed. Rolling-element bearings may be lubricated with greases or oils depending on the point of use. Lubrication is necessary to prevent direct metallic contact between rolling elements and bearing rings, thereby preventing wear due to welding, friction, material fatigue or corrosion more

• 35 years' experience in "black gold"
  

  There is a paradoxical consequence of the financial crisis: To produce bitumen is more attractive than ever. In the last six months prices for crude oil and, in particular, the consumption of heavy, sulfur-containing marine Diesel fuel (bunker oils) have dropped, while at the same time the need for bitumen has gone up all over the world due to government infrastructure investment programs. For this reason, the demand for Biturox® plants to produce road bitumen in an economical manner is increasing more

• Synthesis of CoFe2O4 Nanoparticles by a Low Temperature Microwave‐Assisted Ball‐Milling Technique

  Well‐crystallized Cobalt ferrite nanoparticles with mean size of 20 nm and high saturation magnetization (82.9 emu/g) were synthesized at a low temperature (≤100°C) by microwave‐assisted solid–liquid reaction ball‐milling technique without subsequent calcination. CoC2O4·4H2O and Fe powder were use more

• Materials, Vol. 6, Pages 1903-1919: TiB2-Based Composites for Ultra-High-Temperature Devices, Fabricated by SHS, Combining Strong and Weak Exothermic Reactions

  TiB2-based ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) were fabricated using elemental powders of Ti, B and C. The self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) was carried out for the highly exothermic “in situ” reaction of TiB2 formation and the “tailing” synthesis of boron carbide characterized by weak more

• Manipulation of Phase and Microstructure at Nanoscale for SiC in Molten Salt Synthesis

  Silicon carbide (SiC) is a compound with strong covalent bonding, which gives its high mechanical strength and oxidation resistance, but also hinders its synthesis under moderate conditions. Herein, a facile route is presented for the synthesis of SiC nanomaterials from simple and abundant raw mater more
