-Graphene the ‘miracle material’ is stronger than diamond but what can it do?
Graphene was the talk of the technology industry eight years ago.
It was a material so strong that it would ‘take an elephant, balanced on a sharpened pencil, to break through a sheet of graphene the thickness of Saran Wrap [cling film].’
It won its creators the Nobel Prize and went on to receive a €1bn (£880m) research grant from the EU in 2013.
It was touted as the ‘miracle material’ with ‘limitless potential’ set to turn the entire technology sector upside down.
-Carbon Fiber Textiles : Fabrics could be the next big thing in facades
Humans have been using fabric to create shelter for thousands of years. If a set of groundbreaking researchers and designers have their way, however, applications of textile-based architectural elements have the potential to play an important role in shaping the future of enclosures as well.
Across scales and methods of application, research into the use of textile-based elements in architecture has increased over the last 15 years as professional and university teams in Europe and the United States have embraced robotic weaving applications, custom-designed carbon fiber textiles, and experimental fabric facades. With an eye toward wrapping ever-larger structures, creating unique sensory experiences, and engineering a more sustainable future, new applications of fabrics have the potential to change the face, look, and feel of architecture as we know it.

-Why PP Preforms Better Than PET Preforms : Top Market Trends
The plastic preforms are used for bottles or containers making by the molding process. The PP bottles are made up from PP preforms by using the injection molding process, while the PET bottles are made up by using the stretch blow injection molding process.
The bottle making business is on the peak from the past few years due to the growth in the food and beverages industry.
The PET preforms are highly adaptable as compared to the PP preforms due to low cost and easy to recycling. However, the PP preforms are used for the production of long-term use bottles. PP preforms have high durability and higher thickness as compared to the PET preforms.

Russia’s Finance Minister Anton Siluanov speaks during a session of the VTB Capital Investment Forum “Russia Calling!” in Moscow, Russia, No
Russia will carefully consider extending its oil output reduction agreement with the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and other producers, Russian First Deputy Prime Minister Anton Siluanov told Reuters on Wednesday.
Moscow will weigh, in particular, the deal’s positive effect on oil prices against losses in market share to United States companies, he said. Polymers Petrochemicals DTY POY
-Can Plastic Be ‘Biodegradable’? New Study Suggests the Jury is Out
Anyone with an interest in green, eco-conscious living knows that plastic has become a major environmental concern in recent years.
They are taking over our oceans and lands, posing a grave threat to marine life, and threatening human health.
Unfortunately, only an estimated 15 percent of the plastic we use is recycled.
This stands in stark comparison to the 88 percent recycling rate for steel, and the 63 percent rate for paper.
This can partly be attributed to the fact that plastic does not biodegrade easily.
In fact, it can remain intact for up to a thousand years, before finally breaking down into countless, tiny microplastic fragments.
-Asia PC tumbles to near 10-year low on supply glut
Asia’s polycarbonate (PC) markets have slumped to record lows in nearly a decade, pummeled by a plentiful supply situation that could persist amid the ongoing US-China trade war.
Spot PC prices extended their downward trend due to the supply overhang, while demand was dwindling, particularly for imports in the key China market.
Market discussions drifted lower for June shipments of general-purpose (GP) moulding grade PC, averaging at $2,000/tonne CIF (cost, insurance and freight) China in the week ending 29 May, according to ICIS data.
-Weekly resin report: Most spot PE, PP prices shed a penny
Plastics processors hit the pause button last week, following a burst of aggressive buying, but overall completed volumes in resin trading still tallied above average, reports the PlasticsExchange (Chicago) in its Market Update.
Fresh offerings for both polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) were a bit heavier and prices for most grades shed a cent.
With contract increases intact for both PE (April) and PP (May) and ample resin supplies available, there was little need to chase material, though current spot resin offers present very good value compared to contracts.
International PE prices and demand were both softer, but large volumes are still shipping offshore.Polymers Petrochemicals DTY POY
