Solar photovoltaic glass is a technology that enables the conversion of light into electricity by incorporating transparent solar cells. In solar photovoltaic glass, solar cells are inserted between two sheets of glass panes and are used for photovoltaic applications in different forms. Solar ... Read more

Cyclic olefin copolymers (COCs) are formed by chain copolymerization of cyclic monomers with ethene. COCs exhibit remarkable optical properties, which are similar to that of glass. These materials can resist high temperature and offer excellent transparency with low bi- refractivity. The monomer ... Read more

Global Active Calcium Silicate Market: Snapshot

With a construction industry that has gathered steam once again, after the beating it took from the recession resulting from the collapse of the U.S. housing mortgage market, the active calcium market is seeing ... Read more

Fluids used for heat transfer from devices to prevent overheating are called coolants. Coolants flow around or through devices for the transfer of the heat produced by the device to outer environment for heat dissipation. Industrial coolants absorb heat from the machine or engine and dissipate ... Read more

A hybrid propellant is a form of chemical rocket propellant wherein the fuel and oxidizer are in different physical states. One of the substances is solid, usually the fuel, while the other, usually the oxidizer, is liquid. The liquid is injected into the solid, whose fuel reservoir also serves ... Read more

Auxetic materials are metamaterials or man-made materials having a particular structure on a macroscopic level. These structures contain hinge-like features which change shape when a force is applied. Auxetic materials often possess a foam structure and have relatively low-density. These ... Read more

Pump jack is a reciprocating piston pump in an oil well. It is known by various names such as nodding donkey, horsehead pump, rocking horse, beam pump, and oil jack in the oil industry. Subsurface fluids (i.e. oil and water) cannot reach to the surface if there is insufficient bottom-hole ... Read more

Marine fuel additives are chemical treatment solutions added to a marine vessel’s existing fuel in order to improve its quality, efficiency, and performance. They are extensively employed due to their ability to enhance the life of marine engines as well as to reduce the cost of operating marine ... Read more

The global metals and alloys industry is transitioning in terms of innovation and development of new alloys to improve tensile strength and other properties of the conventional metals. Magnesium is one of the most abundantly found elements in the world. It is found primarily in the surface of ... Read more
