prefaceApplying industrial waste to polymer composite materials can reduce the demand for petroleum based plastics and the energy used in raw material processing. In addition, by optimizing the interfacial adhesion between the matrix and additives, the mechanical properties of composite materials can also be improved, and additional functions can be introduced based on the structure and properties of solid waste...

Science and Technology Daily, Beijing, June 13 (Reporter Zhang Mengran) A team led by researchers from the University of Texas at Austin in the United States has created a new material that can absorb low-energy light and convert it into high-energy light. This new material is composed of ultra small silicon nanoparticles and organic molecules, which can effectively move electrons between its organic and inorganic components, and can be used for more efficient solar panels, more accurate medical imaging and better Night-vision device...
