A conference presentation will review various halogen-free solutions based on intumescent formulations, nanoparticles and other non-intumescent formulations developed over the last decade.
Isolation of buildings with polystyrene is usual. A new method for the controlled production of structured foam is published. The technique is based on the polymerisation of foamed emulsions of oil in water containing styrene, water, glycerol, and sodium dodecylsulfate.
The material and energetic utilization of biomass reduces the emission of gases harmful to the climate, diversifies the raw materials supply and stabilises it long-term. The Fraunhofer Innovation Cluster Bioenergy (UMSICHT) develops now new utilisation concepts for biomass. The objective is to tap optimation potentials in collection, transport, storage and process management.
A hull of twelve copper atoms encases a single tin atom. This hull is, in turn, enveloped by 20 further tin atoms. A new way for highly efficient catlysts and nanotubes with unusual symmetry was found.
This bis-oxazolidine latent curing agent with reduced odour possesses in-can stability for both 1K aliphatic and aromatic PU systems and can be stored at sub-zero temperatures without crystalising.
