Dynamics Emission For A Polluting Industry

Towards Carbon Emission Reduction Using ICT

The impact of global warming is now showing its ability to disturb human and other forms of life on the earth. Environmental pollution and how it can be minimised is a global issue for discussion. There is an increase in promoting human activities that are environmental friendly through the “green” initiatives. Green computing is how the computing profession is responding to concern for minimis...

15. Silicones in the Plastics Industry

Silicones are used in the plastics industry as additives for improving the processing and surface properties of plastics, as well as the rubber phase in a novel family of thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) materials. As additives, silicones, and in particular polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), are used to improve mold filling, surface appearance, mold release, surface lubricity and wear resistance. As t...

Building better plastics with supercritical carbon dioxide

Nanocomposite plastics are a promising class of materials with a range of applications, particularly in the automotive industry. By incorporating mineral material of nanoscale dimensions, the mechanical properties of the bulk plastic, such as strength, thermal stability, and flame retardance, are drastically improved, with little to no impact on other favorable properties such as low weight. In...
