“Most electrocaloric ceramic materials contain lead,” says Qing Wang, professor of materials science and engineering at Penn State. “We try not to use lead. Celliant Announces Calgary Performance Study. Prototype TNF Parka Made Of ‘Synthetic Spiderweb’ Thread. A thread stronger than steel can be spun into next-generation garments with the properties of a spider’s silk.

Prototype TNF Parka Made Of ‘Synthetic Spiderweb’ Thread

That concept fueled the development of QMONOS, the world’s first successfully-produced “synthetic spider silk” material. It is being touted as “the beginning of a new paradigm in sports apparel.” QMONOS, made by the brand Spiber, is a protein-based, synthetic fiber that mimics the composition of spiderweb. And while Spiber’s products are still in their infancy as materials are not widely available, The North Face has already come up with a concept jacket made of the material.

Details are thin on the jacket, called the Moon Parka. Chinese scientists’ new ‘super-strong foam’ could form lightweight tank and troop armour. Chinese scientists have discovered a “super material” that is as light as a balloon yet as strong as metal, which could be developed by the mainland’s military into armour that protects troops and tanks without sacrificing mobility, a mainland study reports.

Chinese scientists’ new ‘super-strong foam’ could form lightweight tank and troop armour

The foam-like material was created when tiny tubes of graphene were formed into a cellular structure that had the same stability as a diamond, said the study led by researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Shanghai Institute of Ceramics. Graphene, an extremely thin sheet of carbon with extraordinary properties, has attracted great interest among researchers in recent years. It is about 207 times stronger than steel by weight and able to conduct heat and electricity with very high efficiency. However, the new material was able to support something that was 40,000 times its own weight without bending, said the report in the latest issue of the journal, Advanced Materials. Des textiles solaires pour produire de l’électricité. New Applications for Far Infrared Technology. The Seeker has developed a “smart fiber” based on a mechanism of absorbtion / emission of far infrared radiation.

New Applications for Far Infrared Technology

The Seeker can incorporate mineral moieties in textiles and any other substrate to let them absorb and emit Far Infrared (FIR) radiation. They can incorporate these “naturally emitting minerals” as an additive inside any substrate (polymer, suspension and other solids) allowing them to absorb and emit FIR wavelengths and deliver it through the substrate. Cellule photovoltaïque. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Cellule polymère photovoltaïque. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Les cellules photovoltaïques polymères désignent une technique de cellules solaires organiques produisant de l'électricité à partir de la lumière à l'aide de polymères semiconducteurs.

En 2011, il s'agit d'une technique relativement récente étudiée en laboratoire par des groupes industriels et des universités à travers le monde. Encore largement au stade expérimental, les cellules photovoltaïques polymères offrent néanmoins d'intéressantes perspectives. Elles reposent sur des macromolécules organiques dérivées de la pétrochimie, dont les procédés de fabrication sont bien moins consommateurs d'énergie que ceux mis en œuvre pour les cellules à base de semiconducteurs minéraux. Leur coût de revient est bien plus faible et elles sont plus légères et moins fragiles.

Celliant. Celliant. Celliant is a brand-name synthetic polymer bi-component fiber made from polyethylene terephthalate with optically active particles embedded into the core. Created by Hologenix, LLC, fabrics containing Celliant have been shown to increase oxygenation in body tissue and demonstrated to reduce minor aches and pains.[1] Initially marketed as Holofiber, Hologenix changed the name to Celliant to avoid confusion about the nature of the core of its fiber.

Celliant has been shown to interact with electromagnetic emssions (e.g. infrared light) produced by the human body to achieve the increased oxygenation.[2] Applications[edit] Because of oxygenation's performance benefits,[3] Celliant is being used in products by athletic apparel manufacturers like Saucony[4] and Reebok.[5] Celliant is currently being used in bedding, home therapy, medical bandages, and veterinary products.[6] References[edit] External links[edit] Vêtements et accessoires de loisir, de voyage et de sport - Jingo.
