aggiuntive sui prodotti. Packaging has always been two very specific purposes: to protect its contents and give the consumer additional product information. Now both functions are taken for granted and expect more and more interactive features and complete the packaging, transforming it from a simple container packaging designed to monitor and store data about the state of conservation of the content. For this purpose, different technologies have been developed.

Are a daily news in the search for more efficient processes for the production of molecules derived from biomass for sustainable chemistry products to replace fossil fuels.
, con conseguente impatto sui costi . In reality, the technology that allows for the manufacture of chemical products starting from the biomass processing already exists for some time but has not yet spread on a large scale because of the numerous steps required to get to the finished product, with a consequent impact on costs.

Save the date!

, la mostra/convegno dei processi tecnologici, della subfornitura, dei componenti, dei materiali innovativi e servizi avanzati per l'industria dell'aeronautica e delle tecnologie connesse . From September 6 to 9 at the Rimini Conference Centre will host the first edition of AIRET, the exhibition / conference of technological processes, subcontracting, components, materials, innovative and advanced services for the aviation industry and related technologies.

. Always the world of aviation and aerospace is a precursor of new technologies and is closely linked to the need to invest in research and development. dei propri prodotti. It is the rule that innovations born thanks to huge investments in this sector are then transferred to other application contexts, which exploit technological innovations to increase the value added of its products.

nelle parti plastiche . Ease of design and functionality make it increasingly necessary decorated surfaces in plastic parts.

è la decorazione in stampo ( IMD, In-Mould-Decoration ): grazie a questo processo si ha un evidente risparmio di tempo e una riduzione dei costi di produzione. One of the technologies that allows to apply decorations and written already during the molding process is the in-mold decoration (IMD, In-mold Decoration): thanks to this process there is an evident saving of time and a reduction of production costs. With this technology, suitably hot pressed films are put forward by the coil to the injection mold. During injection molding the layers of pigment are dissolved from the support film and are joined firmly to the molded part.

la vendita delle lampadine a incandescenza e di bloccarne la produzione a Settembre 2012. The LED lighting market is growing thanks to the decision of 'the European Union to ban the sale of incandescent bulbs, blocking its production in September 2012. This decision was made ​​primarily for the European desire to improve the energy efficiency of 20% by 2020: in fact the old bulbs convert only 5% of the electricity they consume into light. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the adoption of LED lighting over the next 20 years will save about $ 120 billion and a reduction of 246 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. avverrà soprattutto tra il 2012 ed il 2015. In addition, the estimates imply that initially the strongest growth will cover the lighting market for commercial buildings, while the growth of efficient lighting market of residential buildings will be mainly between 2012 and 2015.

e viceversa! The tires come in design and fashion and vice versa! If you ask what is the fashion, a plausible answer would be: "Fashion is an art full of color." , leader mondiale nella produzione di pneumatici, punta i riflettori sul colore. And as the Benetton made ​​a revolution in clothing with the famous dyed, today Bridgestone, the world leader in tire production, puts the spotlight on the color. So just round and black tires, now the watchword is: color, color, color!

From the headquarters of Bridgestone in Japan, comes the announcement of the development of a new molding technology which, unlike any other process on the market so far, can color the tires cheaply and permanently.

The production of hydroelectric power has so far been limited to "large jumps" that is, the availability of large bodies of water with flow rates and gradients sufficient to drive large turbines. The hydroelectric companies are generally not interested in small batches, for reasons of industrial economy. It 'a fact, however, that the potential energy available in the courses of plain represents an opportunity for generation of electricity in the common area, with typical methods of the renewable energy sector. For reasons that are developing solutions to many micro-hydro power plants with high efficiency and low for widespread use. Let me illustrate.

di silicio monocristallino o policristallino ; la seconda generazione è quella delle celle in silicio amorfo, realizzate in film sottile e delle celle realizzate con altri elementi quali le CIGS. The first-generation panels fotovoltaci is characterized by solar cells monocrystalline or polycrystalline silicon, the second generation is that of amorphous silicon cells, thin films made ​​of cells made ​​with other elements such as CIGS. , principale attore di questi pannelli non riesce ad assorbire tutto lo spettro della luce. Both families of photovoltaic cells have two main limitations: the first is a cost / energy is not satisfactory, the second is that you can convert to energy only a small part of the solar spectrum because silicon, the main actor in these panels do not it absorbs all the spectrum of light.

che la terra è in grado di rigenerare nell'arco dello stesso anno. On September 27 our planet has reached the overshoot day of 2011, the day on which the estimated total renewable resources consumed by humans is equivalent to the total resources that the earth is able to regenerate within the same year . From then on it comes to resource deficit. The increase of population and per capita consumption have resulted in negative this budget since 1987, so it is essential to develop new technologies that produce energy by improving the regenerative capacity of the earth.

Develop a new technology from the study of the feline brain: here is an example of biomimetics.

. The research laboratory of a major American university is working to design a computer equipped with features typical of the brain of a living being, able to actively respond to external stimuli. For the moment, has been chosen as the model structure of a cat brain because it is less complex than human, but in future the aim is to inspire the human brain functions.

The supercomputer is still under design, but a Japanese company has already launched a tech gadget inspired by this new technology!
