BASF researchers have developed Ultradur® High Speed, a high strength engineering plastic. The high speed variant of the already successful Ultradur features a number of key enhanced properties. The product’s significantly improved flow reduces cycle times. It also enables thin-walled parts, for example in the electronics industry, to be easily manufactured. The product’s final characteristics, such as heat distort resistance or mechanical properties, are scarcely affected by the modification. The secret of the innovation lies in an additive consisting of finely distributed nano-particles between 50 and 300 nanometers in size. Print free of charge. Copyright by BASF.

At Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, researchers are conducting cutting edge work to build highly efficient, noninvasive sensors based on carbon nanotube technologies. For example, researchers are building a sensor based on enzymes that self-assemble layer by layer onto tiny hallow carbon tubes. When the sensor encounters organophosphates, the active agent in certain insecticides and chemical warfare agents, the enzymes slow down. The reduced activity is transmitted as an electrochemical signal through the carbon nanotubes to the attached electrode. The resulting measurements can show the concentration of organophosphates in a person’s saliva, a city’s water supply, or other contaminated waters.
