This technology identifies enzymatic routes to synthesize amide oligomers with defined sequence to improve polymerization of existing materials or enable polymerization of new materials. Polymers are generally composed of one (e.g. Nylon 6) or two (e.g.
Materials produced via additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, can experience significant residual stress, distortion and cracking, negatively impacting the manufacturing process.
The technologies described provides for the upcycling of mixed plastics to muonic acid and 3-hydroxyacids.
This invention is for bacterial strains that can utilize lignocellulose sugars. This will improve the efficiency of bioproduct formation in these strains and reduce the greenhouse-gas emission of an industrial bi
In additive printing that utilizes multiple robotic agents to build, each agent, or “arm”, is currently limited to a prescribed path determined by the user.
This invention discusses the methodology to calibrating a multi-robot system with an arbitrary number of agents to obtain single coordinate frame with high accuracy.
Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) processes use inert shielding to protect the weld arc during material deposition, but do not protect the trailing bead, which can lead to weld issues varying from low finish quality to diminished material prop
Technologies are described directed to reducing weld additive part distortion with spot compressions integrated into the build process. The disclosed technologies can be used to make weld additive parts with potentially better geometrical accuracy.
ORNL has developed bacterial strains that can utilize a common plastic co-monomer as a feedstock. This will help enable modern, petroleum-derived plastics to be converted into value-added chemicals.
