Walk like a … gecko?

Animal footpads inspire a polymer that sticks to ice

05-Feb-2025 - A solution to injuries from slips and falls may be found underfoot — literally. The footpads of geckos have hydrophilic (water-loving) mechanisms that allow the little animalsto easily move over moist, slick surfaces. Researchers in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces report using silicone rubber ...

No significant PFAS emissions from waste incineration

Researchers investigate the effectiveness of combustion processes

16-Oct-2024 - Perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkyl compounds, PFAS for short, are found in countless products and therefore also in household waste. Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), together with international partners, have investigated the contribution of waste incineration to ...

Replacement of Toxic Chemicals in the Manufacture of Tires and Conveyor Belts

The new adhesion promoters are based on natural raw materials

12-Apr-2022 - The quality of composite systems made of cords of high-strength fibers such as polyester, aramid or polyamide and matrix materials of rubber is largely determined by the adhesion properties of the fibers to the matrix. In the established manufacturing process, adhesion promoters made of ...

Researchers show how synthetic rubber raw material can be degraded

The researchers' goal is to be able to break down other similar substances from car tires in the future

13-Dec-2021 - Enzymes are capable of degrading synthetic polyisoprene. The specific conditions for that have now been created and exploited by researchers at Martin Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry (IPB). Polyisoprene is the principal component of natural ...
