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.
