According to the United States Environment Protection Agency, ~26% of global green house gas emissions are from the transportation sector, which includes emissions from cars, trucks, ships, trains, and airplanes. Apparently, passengers cars and light-duty trucks or light commercial vehicles (LCVs) are the largest source of transportation-related e...

Graphene oxide (GO), due to its unique properties, is gaining the focus of researchers and companies alike for use in various industries including energy, batteries, electronics, materials and mobility. GO is found to exhibit requisite tribological properties as solid lubricants, oil-based lubricant additives, water-based lubricants additives and f...

Plastics manufactured from primary chemicals derived from crude oil are not completely biodegradable and environment friendly. The eco-friendliness of the plastics depends upon the ability of the plastics to degrde under specific conditions. Emissions from the plastics production and the disposal of single use plastics in to landfills is a major co...

The increasing demand for lightweight and thermally insulating materials in various industries, including building and construction, oil and gas, and others is boosting the growth and enhancing the adoption potential of aerogels. The broad application scope is attributed towards, the high specific area, low density and enhanced thermal resistance. ...

Artificial intelligence (AI)- and machine learning (ML)-based technologies are being leveraged for materials research and are replacing experimental and simulation-based research approaches. The need to accelerate materials discovery and the desired accuracy in the properties of materials is driving researchers to seek more granular insights from ...

This research service titled, “Disruptive Innovations in Scalp Care,” provides an understanding of the different types of actives used in scalp care ranging from chemically derived, plant extracts, algae extracts, microbiome regulations, fermented actives and supernatant cultures primarily targeted towards hair fall treatment, dandruff removal ...

Nanoemulsions are characterized by high bioavailability and permeability; it can potentially be used to encapsulate both water- and oil-soluble substances. Due to its small droplet size, the encapsulated particles can remain stable for a period of time and can avoid gravitational issues such as Oswald ripening. Due to the abovementioned reasons, t...

The automotive, agriculture, and construction equipment (ACE) industries is witnessing an increase in the R&D and deployment of protective paints and coatings. Leading automotive coating producers are developing solutions which enable faster preparation and drying times. Coating producers emphasize on paints which enable painters to make small scra...

Chemicals is a highly regulated industry, and it serves as the backbone of several other end-user sectors, including construction, transportation, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. Although the industry is a leading revenue generator, globally, digitalization, product portfolio diversification, enriched social responsibility, and sustai...
