Preparation of Eco-friendly Paints by Degradation of Plastics Using Ideonella Sakaiensis

Our objective is to prepare eco-friendly pants by degrading plastics, which are a potential threat to our environment as it takes 500-1000 or more years to decompose naturally. We offer an eco-friendly approach where the microorganism Ideonella sakaiensis sakaiensis breaks Plastics into simpler compounds such as Ethylene Glycol and Terephthalic acid under aseptic conditions.

Fast Dynamic Laser Beam Combining and Shaping for Generating Flat-top Beams

For materials processing, laser manufacturing and machining, medical applications, etc., it is important to shape intensity and phase profile of the laser beam. To maintain optimum processing of materials, e.g., in drilling, the beam profile should be dynamically changed as the crater depth grows. Existing methods of dynamic shaping, viz., using an array of mechanically moving mirrors,

Polymer Fusion Labeling – Solving the Global Labeling Crisis for Durable Polyolefin Products

Labeling is failing, not just aesthetically or functionally, but systemically. Across the most widely used plastics in the world, polyolefin thermoplastics like HDPE, PP, TPO, and TPV, traditional labels peel, fall off, or are never able to adhere at all. These materials make up 66% of the plastics used in industries producing long-life products: reusable packaging, automotive dunnage,
