Researchers from Innovation Lab HySPRINT at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and Humboldt Universität zu Berlin (HU) have used an advanced inkjet printing technique to produce a large range of photodetector devices based on a hybrid perovskite semiconductor. By mixing of only three inks, the researchers were able to precisely tune the semiconductor properties during the printing process.

White claims the No.1 spot in automotive paint supplier Axalta’s annual ranking of the world’s most popular car colors. Some 35% of new cars on the road today are white, followed by black and gray with 19% each, according to paint supplier Axalta’s 69th annual Global Automotive Color Popularity Report. 

Looking forward to a year of love, joy, mindfulness and making memories. Clariant pays an advance tribute to the year to come in its new Decorative Coatings Trends for 2022 – “golden”. Launched today, consumers are invited to take inspiration for decorating their rooms, spaces and furniture from the palette’s 40 new shades that reflect 4 different phases of natural human behaviors in the new world in which we live.

If you have ever noticed messages in work and marketing emails encouraging you to consider the environment before printing, you are well aware of the perception that printing output, and its associated hardware, produce waste that finds its way into landfills. Paper waste alone makes up between 7% and 23% of municipal solid waste depending on whether it is a low-, middle-, or high-income country.

The appliance industry is the fastest-growing end-use industry segment of the powder coatings market. The thermoset resin segment is expected to lead the growth during the forecast period. Thermoset powder coatings are used on a wide array of automotive, appliances, and gen-eral industrial products.

In this present research work, TiZrN and TaZrN multilayer coating was deposited on 4140 steel by RF/DC magnetron sputtering for comparative work also prepared in single layer. The flow rate ratio of Ar/N2 was set to 15 : 3 sccm and the thin film was prepared by the PVD (physical vapor deposition) method by RF/DC magnetron using a Ti-Zr and Ta-Zr target with a purity of 99.99%.

The aim of the present work is the synthesis and characterization of iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are coated with oleic acid and polyvinyl butyral and mixed with microspheres and further developed ferrofluids with silicon oil. Studies of the performance of the nanoparticles in these ferrofluids with and without coating agents were carried out.

Indonesia’s Public Works and Public Housing Ministry (PUPR) has begun trialling concrete 3D printing as a means of meeting the country’s demand for affordable infrastructure. In tests carried out alongside construction firm PT. PP (Persero) Tbk and start-up Autoconz, the PUPR has used the technology to erect structures layer-by-layer from mortar.

For Kent Liu, 2022 looks to be riddled with uncertainties that he fears could take a hefty toll on his digital printing production company in Guangdong province.

The IPO is also the fourth-largest listing in Indonesia after Bukalapak in August this year, Adaro Energy in 2008 and Indofood CBP Sukses Makmur in 2010.

In Singapore, mycelium, as the root of fungi, is composed of filamentous strands of fine threads (hyphae) that bind discrete substrate particles into a block-like material. With advanced processing, dense mycelium-bound composites (DMCs) resembling commercial particleboards can be formed for potential use in the construction and furniture industries.
