Joining technology solutions

For the production of smart textiles, a consistently and closely interlocked value chain must be built up. This value chain allows one to adjust and hand over process parameter flexibly. Manufacturing and joining technology should be organized as a direct or joined process in order to achieve a reasonable and cost-efficient solution. Tool handling, cutting, feeding and removal of the textile for automatic assembly must be solved. 

We offer current technologies and valid methods for a wide range of activities teaching, investigation, work, business and even daily life. We encourage all our readers to join us and become part of the solution to climate change, rather than the problem. 

Kihlborg and Gebert 1970). As with wolframite, the sanmartinite structure belongs to space group P2/c, but that for cuproscheelite is 1. Nevertheless, these minerals exhibit complete solid solution across the binary join (Schofield and Redfem 1992). Explorations of the transition behavior in this system are motivated by their technological potential. Cuproscheelite is an -type semiconductor with possible uses as a photoanode, and sanmartinite may serve as a high Z-number scintillator (Doumerc et al. 

Amine systems are established technology that is readily available with a proven track record. Incremental improvements over the years in the amine chemistry, design of the contactors and improved process schemes have raised the bar for membrane systems to compete. But higher CO2 concentrations favour membrane systems since in amine treaters in order to remove more CO2 one needs more amine solution. In contrast, when membranes see higher CO2 contents they permeate higher CO2 content. This joins with simpler (even unattended) operations, lower maintenance and operating costs, and smaller foot prints as factors in favour of membrane systems.
