Making Nanodiamonds Out of Bottle Plastic

Making Nanodiamonds Out of Bottle Plastic

Making Nanodiamonds Out of Bottle Plastic

What goes on inside planets like Neptune and Uranus? To find out, an international team headed by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), the University of Rostockand France’s École Polytechnique conducted a novel experiment. They fired a laser at a thin film of simple PET plastic and investigated what happened using intensive laser flashes. One result was that the researchers were able to confirm their earlier thesis that it really does rain diamonds inside the ice giants at the periphery of our solar system. And another was that this method could establish a new way of producing nanodiamonds, which are needed, for example, for highly-sensitive quantum sensors.

The conditions in the interior of icy giant planets like Neptune and Uranus are extreme: temperatures reach several thousand degrees Celsius, and the pressure is millions of times greater than in the Earth’s atmosphere. Nonetheless, states like this can be simulated briefly in the lab: powerful laser flashes hit a film-like material sample, heat it up to 6,000 degrees Celsius for the blink of an eye and generate a shock wave that compresses the material for a few nanoseconds to a million times the atmospheric pressure. “Up to now, we used hydrocarbon films for these kinds of experiment,” explains Dominik Kraus, physicist at HZDR and professor at the University of Rostock. “And we discovered that this extreme pressure produced tiny diamonds, known as nanodiamonds.”

Using these films, however, it was only partially possible to simulate the interior of planets – because ice giants not only contain carbon and hydrogen but also vast amounts of oxygen. When searching for suitable film material, the group hit on an everyday substance: PET, the resin out of which ordinary plastic bottles are made. “PET has a good balance between carbon, hydrogen and oxygen to simulate the activity in ice planets,” Kraus explains. The team conducted its experiments at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California, the location of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), a powerful, accelerator-based X-ray laser. They used it to analyze what happens when intensive laser flashes hit a PET film, employing two measurement methods at the same time: X-ray diffraction to determine whether nanodiamonds were produced and so-called small-angle scattering to see how quickly and how large the diamonds grew.

A big helper: oxygen
“The effect of the oxygen was to accelerate the splitting of the carbon and hydrogen and thus encourage the formation of nanodiamonds,” says Dominik Kraus, reporting on the results. “It meant the carbon atoms could combine more easily and form diamonds.” This further supports the assumption that it literally rains diamonds inside the ice giants. The findings are probably not just relevant to Uranus and Neptune but to innumerable other planets in our galaxy as well. While such ice giants used to be thought of as rarities, it now seems clear that they are probably the most common form of planet outside the solar system.

The team also encountered hints of another kind: In combination with the diamonds, water should be produced – but in an unusual variant. “So-called superionic water may have formed,” Kraus opines. “The oxygen atoms form a crystal lattice in which the hydrogen nuclei move around freely.” Because the nuclei are electrically charged, superionic water can conduct electric current and thus help to create the ice giants’ magnetic field. In their experiments, however, the research group was not yet able to unequivocally prove the existence of superionic water in the mixture with diamonds. This is planned to happen in close collaboration with the University of Rostock at the European XFEL in Hamburg, the world’s most powerful X-ray laser. There, HZDR heads the international user consortium HIBEF which offers ideal conditions for experiments of this kind.

Precision plant for nanodiamonds
In addition to this rather fundamental knowledge, the new experiment also opens up perspectives for a technical application: the tailored production of nanometer-sized diamonds, which are already included in abrasives and polishing agents. In the future, they are supposed to be used as highly-sensitive quantum sensors, medical contrast agents and efficient reaction accelerators, for splitting CO2 for example. “So far, diamonds of this kind have mainly been produced by detonating explosives,” Kraus explains. “With the help of laser flashes, they could be manufactured much more cleanly in the future.”

The scientists’ vision: A high-performance laser fires ten flashes per second at a PET film which is illuminated by the beam at intervals of a tenth of a second. The nanodiamonds thus created shoot out of the film and land in a collecting tank filled with water. There they are decelerated and can then be filtered and effectively harvested. The essential advantage of this method in contrast to production by explosives is that “the nanodiamonds could be custom cut with regard to size or even doping with other atoms,” Dominik Kraus emphasizes. “The X-ray laser means we have a lab tool that can precisely control the diamonds’ growth.”

Successful Trade Fair Premiere: Electric Compact Transporter Sevic V500e Impressed Journalists and Trade Visitors at IAA Transportation

Successful Trade Fair Premiere: Electric Compact Transporter Sevic V500e Impressed Journalists and Trade Visitors at IAA Transportation

  • IAA Transportation stand in Hall 13 showed application diversity and
  • scalability of the Sevic V500e.
  • High demand for test drives on the course in Hall 11.

“With seven vehicles on site and an exhibition stand of over 200 square metres, we presented what our compact vehicles are capable of at the IAA Transportation. After seven successful days, we are delighted about the wave of interest and inquiries we had. Especially the rightly very critical trade journalists were very interested in our solution for the last mile and we were able to convince them at close range of the high production quality Made in Europe. I am very proud of the entire team, which did a great job here in the planning and execution of this event,” says Sevic Managing Director Alexander Brilis.

For one week, Sevic staff answered questions about the vehicles from interested trade visitors, industry experts and journalists at stand A80 in hall 13, and the Sevic V500e could then be test-driven in hall 11. The charging process was demonstrated on the Plug & Play Campus. There was a choice of two vehicles for the test drive – a pickup and a box body.

The V500e is a compact L7e-CU class electric commercial vehicle, ideal for use in urban areas. The vehicle is built in Europe and consists mainly of parts of European origin. Sevic’s corporate headquarters are located in Bochum, Germany. Thanks to near- and reshoring, Sevic has access to a stable supply chain and an excellent spare parts supply.

During the development of the V500e, which can reach speeds of up to 80 km/h, great importance was attached to a wide range of applications and scalability. The patented cargo swap system, for example, ensures that the transport superstructures can be exchanged quickly. The loading and unloading process of the cargo boxes therefore does not have to be carried out on the stationary vehicle, but can take place where itis easiest for the user. This also ensures that the vehicle does not block narrow roads and additionally reduces downtimes.

In addition, users can choose between different superstructures. Variants include boxes with different options, such as sliding, rolling or folding doors. In addition, various flatbeds are available. All these superstructures are simply exchanged with a standard forklift truck if required. Within a few minutes, users can switch between currently six bodies – for example, from a sales box to a pick-up body. This makes the Sevic V500e suitable for a wide range of applications and thus particularly economical.

 

The V500e is also flexible in terms of range and purchase price: the standard battery size with 16.5 kilowatt hours (kWh) and up to 150 km range costs 24,900 € net (plus body and transfer); the long-range model with a 33-kWh battery and up to 300 km range (confirmed by TÜV Nord) is available for 29,500 € net plus body and transfer.

XSYS Introduces Enhanced Woodpecker Nevis Surface Screening

XSYS Introduces Enhanced Woodpecker Nevis Surface Screening

Expanding the Thermo Flexx Woodpecker family of high frequency surface screens, Nevis has been specifically developed for printing with white inks on film-based substrates.

XSYS is pleased to announce a new version of Thermo Flexx Woodpecker surface microstructure technology that enables higher imaging speeds of flat top dot flexographic plates for standard white inks. As a simple, open and effective screening solution, Woodpecker Nevis has the potential to save on costly white ink while providing more contrast and improved colors in flexible packaging printing. Already commercially available, it is the latest addition to the Woodpecker portfolio, which also includes the Sharp, Nano and Replay options for Thermo Flexx TFxx plate imagers.

“Woodpecker Nevis screening improves overall brilliance and makes it possible to save on white ink costs while also simplifying and speeding up the imaging process,” said Christophe Lievens, Global Sales Director XSYS Prepress. “In combination with the Thermo Flexx Multiplate option, which allows multiple resolutions to be imaged on the same plate, it delivers a more cost-effective and competitive solution that will help printers optimize OEE and reduce waste.”

The objective of the Woodpecker surface screening solution is to control the ink more accurately, as it is transferred from the anilox to the plate and onto the substrate. The result is a smoother, higher opacity ink laydown, sharper line work, and cleaner screens, without any of the common printing defects often found in flexo printing, such as pin holing, trail edge voids, and halo effects, at full press speed.

Woodpecker surface microstructures are applied at the imaging stage and is an adaptable solution that works with open RIPs. Furthermore, as the pattern is not embedded in the file, which normally increases its size greatly, much faster data exchange and computer processing times can be achieved. This significant reduction in workflow complexity also improves plate delivery times and ultimately speed to market for brand owners.

Developed to work seamlessly with the higher volume anilox rollers usually used for printing with standard white ink on film-based substrates in flexible packaging, Woodpecker Nevis consists of three surface patterns with different levels of coarseness for the broadest application reach. While a higher volume anilox will increase quality and opacity, there is also the option to decrease the anilox volume which may consume less expensive white ink without negatively impacting the opacity.

“Good coverage of white is essential in flexible packaging printing where it provides the foundation for strong colors and impactful graphics. However, white ink can represent as much as 50% of the total ink costs, so XSYS continues to develop new products that can help optimize the process, lower costs, andtake out more waste. With Woodpecker Nevis, we are bringing to market a flexible and sustainable solution that can be adapted to each customer’s individual needs,” concluded Stephan Reis, Global Marketing Director. “We now offer high frequency surface screens for process colors and white, thereby covering the whole spectrum.”
