An Overview of the Potential of Silicone Release Coatings

 If you are on this page, chances are that you are Includedmoney o find out more about the performance of silicone release coatings. First of all, it is essential to keep in mind that these coatings are applied on two different types of substrates. For this purpose, many techniques are used. As a matter of fact, these coatings help create a cross-linked non-stick surface. The idea is to protect pressure-sensitive adhesives and many other types of sticky materials. Some of these materials include food, composite prepregs, and bituminous compounds. Read on to find out more. As far as availability is concerned, you can find them in a wide range of delivery systems that can be emulsion-based solventless or solvent-based. Apart from this, they use a lot of cure chemistries as rhodium or Platinum catalyzed curing. When it comes to the benefits of this material is concerned, the good news is that it is beneficial in a lot of fields, such as labels, graphic arts, health care, and food. As...

A Duo Of Dancing Stars

 Small stars like our Sun die with great beauty, encircled by beautiful shrouds of multicolored gases that were once their outer layers--leaving only their relic cores behind as silent testimony to the Universe that they once existed. Our Sun, like other small stars, will first become a bloated red giant that will swell in size to the ghastly point that its flames will engulf the inner planets Mercury, Venus, and possibly Earth. It will then wither into a tiny, dense white dwarf--its former core. In March 2020, an international team, led by University of Warwick (U.K.) astronomers, reported that they had discovered a strange phenomena involving a closely dancing duo of these dead stars. The scientists detected a massive white dwarf star with a weird carbon-rich atmosphere that could really be two white dwarfs that merged together as they performed their bizarre danse macabre in the space between stars--narrowly escaping an explosive destruction. The astronomers spotted an unusual ...

Shedding New Light On The Universe's Shadowland

 We live in a mysterious Universe--most of which we are unable to see. What is it made of, and has its composition changed over time? The starlit galaxies, galaxy clusters and superclusters are all embedded within invisible halos composed of transparent material that scientists refer to as the "dark matter." This mysterious substance creates an enormous, invisible structure throughout Space and Time--a fabulous, fantastic tapestry woven of heavy filaments composed of this " dark " stuff, that is thought to be formed from unidentified and exotic non-atomic particles. In March 2020, a team of scientists announced that they have identified a sub-atomic particle that could have formed the dark matter in the Universe during its Big Bang birth. Scientists think that up to 80% of the Universe could be dark matter, but despite years of investigation, its origin has remained a puzzle. Even though it cannot be observed directly, most astronomers think that this ghostly form ...

Sizing Up Neutron Stars

 A neutron star is the lingering leftovers of a massive star that has ended its nuclear-fusing "life" in the brilliant and fatal fireworks of a supernova explosion. These extremely dense city-sized objects are actually the collapsed cores of dead stars which, before their violent "deaths", weighed-in at between 10 to 29 times the mass of our Sun. These bizarre , lingering relics of heavy stars are so extremely dense that a teaspoon full of neutron star material can weigh as much as a herd of elephants. In March 2020, an international research team of astronomers announced that they have obtained new measurements of how big these oddball stars are. They also found that neutron stars unlucky enough to merge with voracious black holes are likely to be swallowed whole--unless the black hole is both small and/or rapidly spinning. The international research team, led by members of the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Einstein Institute: AEI) in Germany, obt...
