Bateer's institute plans to develop more bean-based plastics
Research giant bartels memorial institute, based in Columbus, Ohio, is working with the united beans commission and the Ohio bean commission to study the bean protein base plastic project. The researchers told plastic news that it is planning to use some new bean - based products. Rob Cain, a research scientist, recently told plastic news that bean-based resins can be used in non-biphenolic coatings (for paint metal cans, etc.). The agency is further developing a bean - based bubble that can be used in the car market. The car industry has a decade history of mixing a certain proportion of legumes with resin blends for the production of seats, headrest and interior trim. Cain says that the polypropylene plastic granules can also be used as polypropylene plastic granules to produce injection molding parts. In June, bateer was awarded a patent for beans, and Ram Lalgudi, a senior research scientist at the battelle institute, said he wanted to increase technical licensing in the field. "Adding beans to plastic is not new," he said in a telephone interview. "the biggest challenge is handling the temperature and biodegradability of injection parts. If the degradation is excessive, the engineering properties of the resin will be lost." "What bartel is going to do is find the right mix to reduce the chemical reaction," he said. He won the title of the inventor of battelle in 2015. It has 12 patents and has been engaged in the research of coatings, adhesives, mixtures, fibers, capsules and medical products since joining the institute in 2003. "Beans are an attractive material in the supply chain," Lalgudi said. Bateer's bean - based plastic application includes the replacement of car exterior parts of the veneer injection mix. Bateer is also studying ways to combine beans with other resins such as nylon, polycarbonate, ABS and PVC. Bateer and the united bean commission also collaborated with Biobent polymer. In 2012, Biobent made use of Panacea's bio-plastic business. The material USES bateer's technique, mixing beans and polyethylene and PP resin. At the beginning of 2015, puliwan group realized the commercial use of the mixed ingredients of the Geon BIO PVC, which was developed by bartel with the reFlex brand of the bean-based plasticizer. It started selling reFlex in the second half of 2012, and the company owns the exclusive rights to the reFlex bioplasticizer in North America and Asia. Bean protein base plastic can also be used in food packaging. "The market is very motivated and the feedback is positive," Lalgudi said. Founded in 1929, battelle is the world's largest nonprofit research and development organization, with 22,000 researchers at 60 research sites around the world. The first funding from the institute came from a donation by Gordon Battelle, an Ohio industrial giant. The invention and application of the institute include dry photocopying technology, which is commercialized by xerox. The first nuclear fuel rod for the nautilus nuclear submarine; A breakthrough in metallurgical technology to help the U.S. space program; Technology to produce the first disc; The technology of producing the first jet engine from titanium alloy; Tank armor coatings during world war ii; Vehicle cruise control; And chocolate that doesn't melt.
