Efficient bonding and connecting of silicone components
A process technology for creating strong and durable connections between silicone regions or parts is presented, which involves a specific combination of vacuum ultraviolet irradiation and tailored application of mechanical pressure.
Sustainable materials for efficient flotation purification processes
The technology combines switchable materials based on natural or renewable resources with a procedure, which enables selective and efficient flotation purification processes.
A novel production method for a biobased adhesive, which comprises a tailored lignin structure as main component, is presented. The process technology overcomes the use of toxic phenol and formaldehyde, while the resulting adhesive exhibits good physicochemical and mechanical properties.
A microimprint method for on-chip fabrication of Zn-air microbatteries is presented, which bypasses complications of catalyst incorporation on the chip at a target position and paves the way towards production of miniaturized, rechargeable energy sources.
