Automotive tires nowadays require proving far more than only grip and profile. Tires are not only a crucial aspect associated with driving safety but are also important for lowering the hazardous CO2 emission and the overall vehicle operating costs. Intelligent tire systems help to significantly improve fleet management by minimizing tire costs, vehicle breakdowns and fuel consumption. Thus, the advantages associated with intelligent tires include, extended tire life, efficient fuel consumption, reduced vehicular CO2 emissions, optimized fleet management and reduced possibilities of accidents and breakdowns.

Usually, composites consist of two components: a matrix and a reinforcement. Both these components have their own physical and chemical properties. The unique nature of composites i.e. lighter weight and higher mechanical strength makes them useful in several applications. Some of the most commonly used composites are glass fiber, carbon fiber, kevlar, and graphite composites. Composite adhesives provide bonding to themselves as well as to other substrates. They exhibit significant mechanical strength and good performance upon exposure to extreme conditions.

Lanolin, popularly known as wool wax or wool grease, is a wax secreted by the sebaceous glands of wool bearing animals. Lanolin consists of sterol esters. It is estimated that there are around 10,000 to 20,000 different types of sterol esters present in lanolin. Lanolin possess a waterproofing property, which helps sheep to repel water from their fur. Thus, a major role of lanolin is to protect the wool and skin of sheep from climatic conditions. Lanolin and its derivatives are primarily used in skin treatment and protection in humans. In terms of composition, high purity grade of lanolin is typically composed of a large proportion of long chain waxy esters while the remaining portion consists of lanolin acids, lanolin alcohols, and lanolin hydrocarbons. Lanolin is mixture of various esters, alcohols, and fatty acids. Increasing population across the world and rising usage of cosmetics are the major drivers that are anticipated to drive the lanolin market during the forecast period.

Hafnium is defined as a silvery, shiny, ductile metal that is chemically similar to zirconium. It is found in numerous zirconium minerals as a tetravalent transition metal. The physical properties of hafnium are markedly hampered by the zirconium impurities, as these metals are difficult to separate due to their chemical similarity. The most notable difference between hafnium and zirconium is their density, as hafnium has twice the density of zirconium. Hafnium possess excellent chemical properties and is resistant to chemicals and oxidation.

Polyaryletherketone (PAEK), which belongs to a class of semi-crystalline thermoplastics, offers high-temperature stability, high mechanical strength, and good overall chemical resistance. It can be processed using all the typical thermoplastic processes such as injection molding, extrusion, compression molding, and transfer molding. Plastics that fall within this family include Polyetherketone (PEK), Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK), Polyetheretherketoneketone (PEEKK), and Polyetherketoneetherketoneketone (PEKEKK).

Viscose is a type of rayon known as semi-synthetic fiber. It is manufactured from naturally occurring polymers. Viscose is manufactured from the solution of cellulose, primarily from wood pulp. Rayon is a fiber used in the manufacture of fabric. It offers properties similar to that of nylon. Viscose differs from other types of rayon due to its distinct manufacturing process and properties. Modal and lyocell are other types of rayon available in the market.

For the last few years, research and development in the field of nanoparticles such as zinc oxide, TiO2, and graphite has gained momentum. Zinc oxide nanoparticles are referred to as semiconductor materials, due to their unique properties such as high binding energy and wide band gap. These materials possess antifungal, antibacterial, and UV-filtering properties. They are used in various fields such as material science, optics, bio-medicine, and electronics. They are widely employed in the building & construction industry as an additive to concrete and ceramics. They are used as catalysts in cosmetics such as calamine lotion and ointments to treat skin diseases; as coating agents in the paints & coatings industry, as additives in food products; and as filler materials in the manufacture of cigarettes. Zinc oxide nanoparticles are also employed in vulcanization of rubber for the manufacture of tires.

Hydraulic cylinders, also known as hydraulic pumps, are sub-assemblies used in hydraulic power transfer systems. Hydraulic cylinders help transfer power in applications ranging from construction equipment to aviation. These cylinders are an assembly of several components, namely the barrel; cylinder caps and head; piston, which can be double acting or single acting; piston rod; seals; and rings. These cylinders are connected within the hydraulic system to form a continuous hydraulic circuit. Hydraulic cylinders are available in several configurations and functions; each is suited for a particular application. They can also be used to selectively resist the linear motion under heavy loads. Hence, these cylinders can be used in various applications.

Although mowing is a simple way of vegetation control, sometimes it is not enough. Weeds grow at any available space, and only cutting off their tops is not sufficient. This can result in rapid re-sprouting of weeds, causing re-infestation. Thus, multiple treatments are required to control weed. These are tedious, uneconomical, and time consuming. Mowing can also be dangerous to facilities and equipment operators.

Drivers whose job requires them to be on the road during the night and who have been involved in a work-related automobile accident are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Darwin F. Johnson and their workman comp lawyers serving Atlanta for assistance navigating the next steps of their case.

Odour control is a primary concern for any facility operator whose property lies in the vicinity of residential or business areas. When the natural breakdown of organic materials is happening under optimum conditions, it primarily produces carbon dioxide, water vapor, and heat. When the process is unbalanced in some way, other gases are produced, some of which have objectionable odor. Subsequently, odour management is a primary motivator for optimizing the composting process. Odour control agents are employed to control or reduce unwanted odors from industrial/manufacturing processes.

Georgia residents who are experiencing anxiety due to an upcoming workers' compensation claim or a work-related injury are encouraged to let the Law Offices of Darwin F. Johnson and their team of Atlanta workers' comp lawyers handle the navigation of their case or claim.

According to the findings of a recent report by Transparency Market Research (TMR), the molded plastics market in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is highly fragmented, with ten leading companies accounting for merely 40% shares of the global pie in 2014. On the other hand, on the basis of geographical distribution, the GCC molded plastics market is consolidated, with Saudi Arabia accounting for 60% of the plastic converters while 15% belonged to the UAE. As for the new entrants, the report detects that since most of the prominent vendors have relatively smaller production capacity ranging from 10 to 50 kilo tons, higher production capability aimed at specific regional pockets will pave the way.
