Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Edible coating to extend product shelf life 17.10.2021

According to the German organization Welthungerhilfe, 1,3 billion tons of food is thrown away every year. About a third of this amount is products that have deteriorated or been damaged during transportation.

New coating technology from the Dutch company Liquidseal keeps fruits and vegetables fresh for twice as long. In this way, the company helps to avoid food waste and reduce the amount of used packaging.

A key role in this is played by high quality polyvinyl alcohols (PVOH) from Kuraray, a specialty chemicals manufacturer headquartered in Hattersheim, Germany, in Europe. Leveraging Kuraray's portfolio of high quality PVOH polymers, Liquidseal can carefully optimize its formulations for established processes and adhesion to various skin types. Researchers at a Dutch company are currently working on a new edible coating for plums, apples and peaches based on a new type of PVOH: Kuraray Poval 5-88 FA.

“When fruits and vegetables come into contact with oxygen, oxidation starts and microorganisms can multiply faster. As a result, food spoils. To slow this process, until now, farmers have used coatings based on wax or sugar, or wrapped products in additional plastic packaging. This is often inefficient and harmful to the environment.A new solution, for example, can more than double the shelf life of an avocado.At the same time, our coatings are much better for people and the environment.Liquidseal coating is water-based.It does not contain organic solvents Thanks to the high quality Kuraray Poval PVOH materials, they are also completely biodegradable,” explained Liquidseal R&D Manager, Glenn Groenewegen.

A very thin layer of Liquidseal is applied directly to the skin of fruits such as oranges, lemons and mangoes. PVAs with excellent film-forming and barrier properties are required to ensure the effective performance of protective coatings and extend the shelf life of foodstuffs. Kuraray provides exactly the materials Liquidseal needs for consistently high quality coating formulations.
