- SugruSugru is a mouldable glue designed for fixing, making and improving your stuff. It sticks to almost anything, moulds like play-dough, and cures overnight into a durable silicone rubber. Once it’s cured, Sugru has some pretty amazing properties, making it perfect for use everywhere – from your home to the great outdoors.
- Ultra thin and flexible solar “wallpaper” by SunflareSolar panels are all the rage. More and more homes have them installed on the roofs to cut the costs of electricity. However, still…
- SmartgelSmartgel is a self-modelling silicone gel that is soft to touch, comfortable, solid and liquid at the same time. Thanks to its visco-elastic features and its high density, Smartgel can modify its shape in 3 dimensions, putting up the right resistance and supplying support. Due to its specific weight - which is almost like that of water - Smartgel distributes body pressure as evenly as possible and helps blood circulation.
- Sinck&Ko GCThe Sinck&Ko GC is a new material in the seamless flooring. The floor is made of carbon, silicon, iron and epoxy. Surface can be coloured rusty rough like an old deck or just very smooth in natural grey. Very strong for a lifelong durability. Because of the composition of this floor it becomes more alive after each year.
- Flexible super lightThis is a very special light. It’s a folding LED lamp that you can take anywhere, stuff into a bag, and use outside. How…
- PU logosTaiwan Kurim Enterprises prints silicon onto the base via a screen. Silicon has good properties like abrasion resistance, anti-slip, flexible and is environmental friendly.
- SoligemSOLIGEM Designed by Fabrice Covelli. The material outside skin is made of silicone - Gel: Urethane Resin. Skin thickness: 0.075” (2 mm) - Overall thickness: 0.5’’ (12.5mm) It is UV resistant, fire resistant, tear resistant and waterproof.
- AtexAtex from P-D Interglas Technologies Ltd is the culmination of a hi-tech development with applications for creating lightweight membrane structures that embrace a new contemporary freedom of form, lightness and ecological appeal.
- OcragelaOcragela is a material consisting of ochre, gelatin, glycerine, and water. It means that this material is fully biodegradable and made out of only natural materials. This material can be hand-stitched or machine-sewed, so it can be used as a normal textile material. And it can be customised to leather-like, rubber/silicone-like and plastic-like.
- A façade mimicking a billowing transparent clothDutch architectural studio UNStudio completed the renovation of the façade of P.C. Hooftstraat 138 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, mimicking a billowing transparent cloth by…
- Making medicine in artificial leaves with sunlightResearchers at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands developed a mini-reactor that, similar to leaves in nature, absorbs sunlight and drives chemical reactions,…
- A self-lubricating condomIn response to a brief by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, researchers at Boston University developed a condom that self-lubricates during sex. Most…
- LangotecLangotec is made of c-glass, e-glass, aramide, silicate and carbon. It can be produced in dimensionally-stable sleeves and tapes. Lango®tube is a braided and woven sleeve for various reinforcement and insulation applications.
- Active Protection SystemActive Protection System is a "smart" textile that remains soft and flexible until it is struck by high-impact. The active ingredient in the fabric is a dilatant silicone coating, which is a shear thickening fluid (STF).
- 3D printing ceramics with simulated moon regolithResearchers at the European Space Agency (ESA) printed finely detailed ceramic parts using simulated lunar regolith. Regolith is a layer of loose heterogeneous material…
- New solar cells could make use of fungi-produced pigmentResearchers at Oregon State University are working with a highly durable organic pigment called xylidein derived from wood-eating fungi, as an alternative to silicon…
- Sea salt lamps inspired by the seaThe sea has long since inspired humans, and for materials it’s no different. The sea brings us seaweed and other algae, sand, fish leather,…
- Organic Photovoltaic (OPV)Organic photovoltaic (OPV) materials convert light into electrical power. In contrast to typical inorganic silicon cells, OPV laminates have a flexible structure and are robust against ambient conditions. Thanks to the freedom of design of OPV, it can be adapted to almost any surface. OPV uses sustainable, carbon-based “organic” materials. OPV absorbs light in a bulk, not at a discrete interface.
- Opt Alpha GelOpt Alpha Gel (short for optical bonding) is a transparent silicone gel with 99% transmittance. The material improves the visibility of display by decreasing outside light reflection and LCD surface reflection. The softness of the gel improves the shock resistance and stress release of an LCD. Lower reflection loss by the gel contributes to smoother touch-panel operation. It is flexible, and durable against heat and UV.
- Transparent and flexible material is a near-perfect broadband absorberImagine transparent window coatings that keep buildings and cars cool on sunny days, or devices that could more than triple solar cell efficiencies. These…
- SileatherSileather® is a pioneer in the silicone-coated textile industry. With decades of expertise and continuous research, we have developed a new generation of silicone…
- Purifying water with foam made from coffee groundsCoffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world. Though some people cannot stand it, others need it to function properly. Some…
- Scrap yard solar powerWhen exposed to visible light, iron oxide (more commonly known as rust) produces a small electrical current. The energy that this creates also has…
- New Material: Ceramic Wood at MX2016Ceramic wood, which is short for ceramics made from wood, is the result of a material inspired process addressing the question of the composition…
