Though the electronic design for implantation devices has advanced, the insulation coating has not received much attention.

Key Points:

Though the electronic design for implantation devices has advanced, the insulation coating has not received much attention.
As a result, device failures arising from the degradation of the insulating material have become frequent.
Also, the coating of biomedical devices with collagen nanofibers a biopolymer forming the stiff \'skeleton\' of cartilage failed to provide the required properties.
It essentially short-circuited the design of the materials that were previously done by costly and lengthy trial-and-error process.

b'The "Global Thermoplastic Elastomers: Motor Vehicle Market" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com\'s offering.\nThis study analyzes the global motor vehicle market for thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) by region and product.\nHistorical data (2009, 2014, and 2019) and forecasts for 2024 and 2029 are presented for automotive TPE demand in metric tons.\nFor the purposes of this study, a thermoplastic elastomer is defined as any thermoplastic material that exhibits elastomeric properties; TPEs therefore offer the functional performance characteristics of thermoset rubber but are processed using the methods and machinery of rigid thermoplastics.\nSBCs that do not exhibit elastomeric properties (i.e., high styrene products that contain roughly 60% or more styrene) are excluded from the scope of this study.\nWhile TPOs and TPVs are "polyolefin elastomers" in a technical sense, they are defined separately for the purposes of this study.

Furthermore, vulcanized olefin elastomers such as EPDM and ethylene-propylene rubber are not TPEs and are thus excluded.\nCompounds with vulcanized elastomers are considered to be TPVs rather than TPOs.
Various sources and manufacturers differ on the degree of vulcanization required to define an olefinic TPE as a TPV, so estimates of current global demand can vary.\nFor the purposes of this report, motor vehicle TPEs are defined as those used in light, medium, and heavy motor vehicles in both OEM and aftermarket applications, including exterior, structural, engine, mechanical, and interior applications:\nengine and mechanical, including gaskets, belts, and hoses, as well as air ducts and cuffs, and wires and cables\nTPEs covered in this report are:\n'

Other names for these chemicals are launderable dyes, colorants, monomer precursors, and surfactants.

Key Points:

Other names for these chemicals are launderable dyes, colorants, monomer precursors, and surfactants.
These chemicals come in many forms and some of the most common are copolymers (which are made from polyethylene terephthalate), dyes, surfactants, preservatives, and lubricants.
Some of these chemicals are used as solvents, lubricants, or carriers in textile materials while others are used for deodorizers, flame retardants, and solvents.
This is making various chemical and textile manufacturers shift their focus on using green chemicals.
