Graphene spike mat and fridge magnet technology to fight against antibiotic resistance
With strong bactericidal properties, graphene has the potential to become a game changer in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. So far there have been no efficient ways to control these properties – and thus no way to make use of graphene’s potential in healthcare. Now researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, in Sweden, have solved the problem by using the same technology found in an ordinary fridge magnet. The result of which, is an ultra-thin acupuncture-like surface that can act as a coating on catheters and implants – killing 99.99 percent of all
The safe and proper use of electrofusion equipment, in combination with the correct installation of fittings and pipes, is essential in industries relying on piping systems, particularly when these systems are used to transport gas, water, or other critical fluids. While electrofusion technology offers a reliable and efficient means to join polyethylene (PE) pipes, recent incidents, like the one in Australia where a coupler exploded due to improper installation, once again highlight the importance of stringent safety standards and proper training for installation professionals.The Australia
