It's always a pleasure writing about Microban technologies in coatings.

Flax fibers are often celebrated for their low environmental footprint, but did you know they also bring impressive engineering advantages to the table? 🌿 In many composite applications, where lightweighting is critical, flax outperforms traditional glass fibre composites. 🚀 Curious to learn more? Reach out to BIOFIBIX for more insights on flax fiber composites, and watch the full video on Youtube showcasing the JEC World 2024 Composites Exchange Session by the Alliance for European Flax-Linen & Hemp. 🌍 Stijn Vanacker Materials Engineering | KU Leuven Start it Accelerate | @KBC

Recently during JEC '24, we announced our new AI-Based Autoclave Scheduling Optimization Solution, which is a crucial step towards industry ramp-up and sustainability efforts. In today's world, where there is a constant pressure to increase production outputs and save energy, it is extremely important to have a good autoclave schedule. This will not only help in sustainable composite manufacturing but also contribute to the overall sustainability efforts. I see this year more focus on sustainability and energy savings projects. Do you experience the same trend? Write it in the comments below. For more information on our new solution, please check out the link below.

This was a great week at SETAC! Today‘s session on tire and road wear particles provided some truly interesting presentations and discussions on occurrence, fate, and impact of tire wear emissions in the environment. As the discussions revealed, we can’t simply close the tap to stop tire wear emissions. These emissions will occur as long as we have vehicle traffic, due to the friction between the tire and the road surface. Mobility is a fundamental aspect of our society as it gives us the freedom to move around and transport goods and services. This makes it clear how important it is for us to understand what these emissions mean for our ecosystems and to come up with ways of reducing them. A clear scope of tire wear research will help us to identify solutions to existing and future challenges with tire wear. Some take home messages from today are: - The complexity of tire wear emissions requires complementary analytical methods. - There is growing body of knowledge about the fate and impact of tire wear emissions in the environment, allowing for an increasingly comprehensive assessment of this type of non-exhaust emission. - A better understanding of the combined effects of particles and leachables is needed.

Tired of your conductive, anti-static, or EMI-shielding coatings being limited to black and brittle? Then attend my talk at the Southern Society for Coatings Technology in June to learn more about making these clear or pigmented with Miralon.

At Nippon Paint Marine, our HydroSmoothXT™ technology mimics how certain marine life reduces friction when moving through the water by trapping water against the surface of their skin. We have developed a solution that significantly reduces hull-to-water friction by applying this principle to our hull coatings. Combining hydrogel technology with antifouling coatings, such as FASTAR, means we can help our clients achieve significant improvements in fuel efficiency – a key factor in the industry’s decarbonisation efforts. Our whitepaper, ‘Breathing life into science; creating the next generation of hull coatings using biomimetics’ delves into how the established concept of biomimetics is playing its role in helping to inform the development of our antifouling coatings You can view the full whitepaper here: https://lnkd.in/epnrdmRH #HydrogelTechnology #Innovation #Sustainability #MarineCoatings #Decarbonisation #NipponPaintMarine

Advancements in the Fiber Composite Kitchen 📈 Insights from LZS 👍 Kai Steinbach summarizes the successful "SMC in High-Performance Applications" working group meeting at BYK Additives, initiated and led by LZS: The working group meeting on "Functional Additives in the FRP Process Chain" of Composites United e.V. (CU) was a resounding success. Held in Wesel on May 7, 2024, it brought together three CU working groups and showcased the crucial role additives play in fiber composite materials. 🔩 Andréa Bercini from Leibniz-Institut für Polymerforschung Dresden  provided insights into influencing glass fiber strength and bonding to matrices through sizing. Representatives from BYK-Chemie discussed additive possibilities and challenges for thermosetting and thermoplastic matrix systems. Nicole S. from Polynt Group highlighted the complexity of finding suitable additives. Dr. Hauke Lengsfeld from Schill+Seilacher "Struktol" GmbH discussed phosphorus-organic flame retardants' production and effect on thermosetting resins. andreas palinsky from CTP Advanced Materials GmbH emphasized the diverse industry requirements for resins. Participants agreed the meeting provided valuable insights, and they look forward to continued exchange. Special thanks to BYK-Chemie GmbH and all speakers. The next meeting is expected in autumn 2024, online. ✔️ ➡️  Please don't hesitate to contact us with your requirements at Tel: +49 351 446960 90. #composites #innovation #lightweight #leichtbau #innovativeedge #engineering #simulation #testing #manufacturing #addititives #SMC
