Alexander Zinigrad’s Post

An Israeli company has developed a nanomaterial-based industrial additives that allow for achieving lightweight and sustainable materials — making it an ideal component for enhancing the properties of plastics used in planes, trains, and yes even automobiles. The proprietary additives developed by Petah Tikva-based Nemo Nanomaterials can be mass produced in order to supplement a large range of parts. The additives are based on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT). VP Business Development Jonathan Antebi says he and co-founder and CEO Alexander Zinigrad began to develop the CNTs-based additives after realizing the potential of existing nanomaterial to enhance various kinds of plastics and other industrial material. “We established Nemo to take the promise of nanocarbons and bring it into industrial reality,” Antebi tells NoCamels. “A team of experts – of engineering, mechanical plastics, chemistry – enabled us to take an idea and convert it into actual up-and-running technology,” he says. #nanomaterials #nanocarbons #industrialadditives #additives #israelinnovation #israelitech #plastics

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new method to enhance the strength and toughness of fiber-reinforced polymer composites, commonly used in the automotive, aerospace, and renewable energy industries. By depositing thermoplastic nanofibers, they create a high-surface-area scaffolding that improves the load transfer between the fibers and the matrix. This technique boosts composite strength by 60% and toughness by 100%, offering a scalable and cost-effective enhancement to composite materials.

Battery innovation is having its renaissance, and PJP Eye is leading the way with their unique approach. The Japanese firm is burning cotton to create carbon for battery chemistry, resulting in two products - Cambrian single-carbon and Cambrian dual-carbon power packs. These packs have a large surface area, allowing for a battery that can recharge "10 times faster than a lithium-ion" cell. PJP Eye's packs are fire-safe and produce less waste, making them an eco-friendly option. Testing has shown that drones powered by these packs have a 40% longer flight time than those powered by lithium-ion cells. This technology is a promising alternative to the use of toxic elements such as cobalt, lithium, manganese, and nickel. Although it takes a ton of energy to heat materials to 5,432 degrees Fahrenheit, the benefits of this new battery design are worth it. Here’s to the battery race continuing... #BatteryInnovation #PJPeye #EcoFriendly #RenewableEnergy #CarbonPowerPacks
