Advanced Materials

3D printing of composite parts, specifically fiber reinforced polymers, is a rapidly emerging field. Arevo have created the world's first true 3D-printed carbon fiber bicycle.

The Battery Show is one of the largest events around the world on energy storage for electric vehicles, which is held annually in Novi, MI.

A major frontier in the conductive ink business is conformal coating on 3D-shaped objects. For the purposes of this article, we will divide this into two categories: aerosol-deposited 3D-shaped antennas and conformal on-chip EMI shielding.

The previous article looked at material opportunities for thermal management and this article looks at the additional componentry.

The Battery Show is one of the largest events around the world on energy storage for electric vehicles, which is held annually in Novi, MI.

This two-part series will look at some of the materials opportunities emerging in electric vehicle for both batteries and other componentry. This information will be taking highlights from two recent trade shows: Foam Expo (Novi, USA) and The Battery Show co-located with Electric and hybrid vehicle technology expo.

Poor air quality is a growing threat to the public health. It has caused more deaths annually than HIV/AIDS and malaria combined. Recent data from UK government shows that air pollution diseases cost the NHS £20 billion a year. The problem of air pollution is becoming a growing concern for the public.

IDTechEx will be hosting a free webinar on Tuesday 5 June titled Transparent conductive films and materials: Major trends shaping the industry's past, present and future.

Born out of the research labs of TU Delft with over 20 years of experience in the synthesis of aerosols, the VSP-G1 nanoparticle generator provides researchers with the possibility to perform ground-breaking research within the field of nanomaterials without the limitations of common generation methods and materials.

A recent independent study by Imperial College London has evaluated the potential for new gravity-fed energy storage within the UK energy system. With tens of thousands of vertical mine shafts in the UK alone (UK Coal Authority), the potential initial market is sizeable.
