Carbon nanotubes are made of the thinnest element on earth: graphene. But while graphene itself lays flat, one atom in thickness, carbon nanotubes are, as you might expect, tubes. Their walls are made of graphene, but they behave a bit differently than flat graphene, and also are significantly different from graphene oxide (GO). Interestingly, carbon... Read more »
Graphene is often described as “two dimensional,” because it is a substance that is one atom in thickness: a flat lattice of carbon atoms. And yet, graphene’s tensile strength is roughly 200 times greater than steel. As an added bonus, graphene is also highly conductive and very flexible. Although 2D graphene was first isolated by...

The need for flame retardancy in consumer goods is apparent. Each year there are over a million fires in the U.S. alone, resulting in thousands of deaths and injuries and billions of dollars in damage. Addition of a flame retardant to items found within building structures or vehicles can help to both slow the rate... Read more »

Diisodecyl Phthalate (DIDP) is an oily, viscous general-purpose PVC Plasticizer with a mild odor. DIDP has a high-molecular-weight phthalate with good permanence and high temperature performance. This makes it a plasticizer of choice in flexible PVC products that call for low fogging. DIDP is also offers good outdoor weathering making it useful in roofing membranes... Read more »
Dimethyl Sebacate (DMS) is a plasticizer for nitrocellulose, rubber, and vinyl resins. DMS is a large component used in the production of light stabilizers, a softening agent, and solvent for cellulosic resins, synthetic resins, and rubbers. Dimethyl Sebacate is used in Hindered Amines Light Stabilizers (HALS), which are considered the best performing light stabilizers on... Read more »
Butyl Benzyl Phthalate (BBP) is a clear oily plasticizer with a slight odor and moderate solubility in water. It is a high solvating, fast fusing material with high efficiency that can be used in a variety of resins. BBP is often valued for its low viscosity allowing for processing at low temperatures. BBP can be... Read more »
