Polyamide material

John Christopher Plummer, Holger Frauenrath, Nicolas Candau, Sylvain Cyril Claude Galland

The invention relates to a polyamide material containing a polyamide as the matrix polyamide and fibrillar polyamide particles, wherein at least 10 vol.% of the fibrillar polyamide particles, based on the total volume of the fibrillar polyamide particles, ...

Semiaromatic Polyamides and Copolyamides Comprising Kinked Repeating Units

Julien Philippe Cretenoud

The replacement of metals with polymer-based materials is considered to be key to reducing weight, cost, and cycle times in different technological applications, including the automotive and aerospace industries. Semiaromatic polyamides are particularly at ...

A transparent silk-fibroin-based triboelectric microgenerator for airflow energy harvesting

Jürgen Brugger, Xiao Sheng Zhang, Ya Wang, Yinben Guo

We present a new transparent high-performance triboelectric microgenerator (TEMG) based on an emerging material, silk fibroin. Silk fibroin has a strong ability to lose electrons and occupies a top-level positive position in the triboelectric series. It th ...

From spider webs to a fibre-optic chemical sensor

Luc Thévenaz, Kenny Hey Tow, Isabelle Dicaire, Desmond Chow Ming Chia

From the spider’s perspective, silk is not only a building material but also a safety net, a weapon and a sensory organ to detect the presence of prey on its web. For scientists, dragline silk - directly extracted from spiders - is a tough, biodegradable a ...

Weaving our way towards a new generation of ﬁbre-optic chemical sensors based on spider silk

Luc Thévenaz, Kenny Hey Tow, Isabelle Dicaire, Desmond Chow Ming Chia

From the spider’s perspective, silk is not only a building material but also a safety net, a weapon and a sensory organ to detect the presence of preys on its web. Indeed, this primeval material has been shaped over hundreds of millions of years by spiders ...

Towards a novel "silky" way to detect chemical species using spider threads

Luc Thévenaz, Kenny Hey Tow, Isabelle Dicaire, Desmond Chow Ming Chia

Silk possesses extraordinary properties that scientists are currently working hard on harnessing. Amongst them, this primeval material has shown early potential of having excellent optical properties. Through a regeneration process, it is possible to obtai ...

Towards a new generation of fibre-optic chemical sensors based on spider silk threads

Luc Thévenaz, Kenny Hey Tow, Isabelle Dicaire, Desmond Chow Ming Chia

A spider uses up to seven different types of silk, all having specific functions, to build its web. For scientists, native silk - directly extracted from spiders - is a tough, biodegradable and biocompatible thread used mainly for tissue engineering and te ...
