  2. Polycarbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycarbonate

    Polycarbonate is mainly used for electronic applications that capitalize on its collective safety features. A good electrical insulator with heat-resistant and flame-retardant properties, it is used in products associated with power systems and telecommunications hardware. It can serve as a dielectric in high-stability capacitors. [6]

  3. Powered air-purifying respirator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powered_air-purifying...

    A powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) is a type of respirator used to safeguard workers against contaminated air. PAPRs consist of a headgear-and-fan assembly that takes ambient air contaminated with one or more type of pollutant or pathogen , actively removes (filters) a sufficient proportion of these hazards, and then delivers the clean ...

  4. Twinwall plastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twinwall_plastic

    Twin-wall polycarbonate is used most commonly for green houses, where it can support itself in a structurally sound configuration, limit the amount of UV light due to its nominal translucence, and can withstand the rigors of daily abuse in an outdoor environment. The stagnant air in the cellular space between sheets provides insulation, and ...

  5. Liquid breathing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_breathing

    Although total liquid ventilation (TLV) with completely liquid-filled lungs can be beneficial, [9] the complex liquid-filled tube system required is a disadvantage compared to gas ventilation—the system must incorporate a membrane oxygenator, heater, and pumps to deliver to, and remove from the lungs tidal volume aliquots of conditioned perfluorocarbon (PFC).

  6. Air purifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_purifier

    Air purification UVGI systems can be freestanding units with shielded UV lamps that use a fan to force air past the UV light. Other systems are installed in forced air systems so that the circulation for the premises moves micro-organisms past the lamps. Key to this form of sterilization is the placement of the UV lamps and a good filtration ...

  7. Poly(trimethylene carbonate) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly(trimethylene_carbonate)

    Poly(glycolide-co-trimethylene carbonate) is a commercial monofilament used for suture with slow biodegradation rate which allows maintenance of high mechanical strength compatible with the surgical recovery. [9] Poly(caprolactone-co-trimethylene carbonate) has been proposed as biomaterial for conduits in the regeneration of central nervous system.

  8. Transparent ceramics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparent_ceramics

    Its maturity stems from its use as windows and in semiconductor industry. Crystal Systems Inc. which uses single crystal growth techniques, is currently scaling their sapphire boules to 13-inch (330 mm) diameter and larger. [citation needed] Another producer, the Saint-Gobain Group produces transparent sapphire using an edge-defined growth ...

  9. Passive daytime radiative cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_daytime_radiative...

    Air conditioning applications are expected to rise. [26] However, this can be significantly reduced with the mass production of low-cost PDRCs for indoor space cooling. [7] [8] [87] A multilayer PDRC surface covering 10% of a building's roof can replace 35% of air conditioning used during the hottest hours of daytime. [7]
