To shorten the wait for the 14th ThGOT and the 6th Optics Colloquium we would like to give you a small foretaste of our numerous exciting technical presentations in the coming weeks.
Surface functionalization of CNTs and their use in sensor technology
Sebastian Notz, Chemnitz University of Technology - Inorganic Chemistry - Institute of Chemistry, Chemnitz
In the presentation, different approaches to surface functionalization of SWCNTs as well as MWCNTs using covalent and non-covalent functionalization concepts will be presented. The use of these modified materials to fabricate field effect transistor based (FETs) sensors will be discussed. Furthermore, the construction of multifunctional sensors for medical and sports equipment applications using polymer-fixed CNTs is discussed.
This talk will be presented in SESSION A: FUNCTIONAL COATINGS ON NATURAL MATERIALS on March 12, 2019 at 3:50 pm.
Vegetable oils as binders for paper coating colors
Christiane Swaboda, Institute for Wood Technology Dresden - Chemistry/Environment, Dresden
The development of a paper coating based on thermally or radiation-curing natural vegetable oils with appropriate modifications for use in the packaging industry will be presented.
The aim was to replace the thermally curing acrylate binders from fossil raw material sources normally used in the paper industry with binders based on renewable vegetable oils and thus to expand the possible applications of natural-based raw materials, which are increasingly being used in the coatings industry and in furniture and floor coatings, in the paper industry as well.
However, since coating drying is one of the most energy-intensive processes in paper production, holistic innovations are required. UV technology theoretically offers the possibility of producing new layers on paper while simultaneously optimizing the process (potential energy savings of at least 30% compared to conventional coating drying). coating drying) on paper. For this reason, the testing of UV curing or UV LED curing should replace the very energy-intensive step of thermal curing. The current state of development will be reported.
