MicroMaker3D Speeds Prototyping of Tiny Technology
By Nancy Cates, contributing editor, UV+EB Technology With the ability to 3D-print a structure smaller than a human hair, RadLaunch winner MicroMaker3D is ready to address the need for microfabrication-level rapid prototyping. “The production of small, light devices that consume less resources and use less power has enabled microsensors, wearable technology, hardware of IoT … [Read more...] about MicroMaker3D Speeds Prototyping of Tiny Technology
Understanding Glass Transition Temperature: Part 1
In a previous edition of Professor’s Corner, a simple rubber band was used to illustrate how its macromolecular structure creates its unique properties.1 Among the most important and useful of these properties is its flexibility. The flexibility is a result of a very low glass transition temperature (Tg). While different rubber bands have different compositions and behave … [Read more...] about Understanding Glass Transition Temperature: Part 1
Novel bio-based energy-curable polyurethane dispersions enhance coating sustainability
By Michel Tielemans, Guido Vanmeulder, Johan Van den Hauwe, Cédric d’Hulst and Michela Fusco, allnex Belgium Decades ago, allnex pioneered sustainable coating technologies as a foundation for current waterborne, energy-curable, powder and crosslinker product ranges. Gradually, water-based and energy-curable products were merged with the development of novel energy-curable … [Read more...] about Novel bio-based energy-curable polyurethane dispersions enhance coating sustainability
