DuPont Biomaterials Leader Michael Saltzberg To Speak At The Future Of Materials Summit

WILMINGTON, Del. — November 13, 2017 — DuPont Industrial Biosciences (DuPont) announced that Dr. Michael Saltzberg, global business director of DuPont Biomaterials, will participate in The Future of Materials Summit, beginning today in Luxembourg. Saltzberg will join other materials business leaders for a discussion on “Best Practices for New Materials’ Development,” led by Geoffrey Carr, science editor at The Economist and chair of the Summit.

As the leader of DuPont’s global biomaterials programs and business development, Saltzberg spearheads the development and commercialization of renewably sourced biochemicals and biomaterials based on plants rather than petroleum.

“Materials suppliers play a critical role in increasing the sustainability of supply chains across the industries that we serve, and we believe making high-performance and cost-efficient materials from plant-based feedstocks is part of the solution,” said Saltzberg. “I am looking forward to sharing the latest in DuPont’s biomaterials innovations with the group that The Economist has brought together for this Summit.”

One of DuPont’s core innovations in this space is Bio-PDO™ propanediol — a bio-based ingredient used in a variety of materials across a number of industries. DuPont™ Sorona® is one of those materials — a patented polymer that offers customers a more sustainable solution for fibers and other applications with better performance in key parameters than competing petroleum-based materials. Sorona is used around the world in the textile, carpeting, and automotive markets — bringing softness, crush resistance and stretch to a growing list of products, not to mention its superior life cycle compared to the petroleum-based products it often replaces.

In early 2016, DuPont partnered with Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) to launch a breakthrough process to produce a bio-based monomer — furan dicarboxylic methyl ester (FDME) — from a renewable feedstock. One of the first polymers under development is polytrimethylene furandicarboxylate (PTF), a novel polyester made by combining FDME and Bio-PDO™. PTF is a 100-percent renewable that — when used to make bottles and other beverage packages — substantially improves gas-barrier properties compared to other polyesters. This kind of innovation is central to DuPont’s approach: by developing this renewably sourced monomer, the beverage industry will be able to create effective packages using less polymer than is required for current designs, resulting in significant benefits for customers and the environment.

At the Summit, Dr. Saltzberg also will address DuPont’s research into the commercialization of a completely new way to make high-performance polymers directly from sugar. This novel process — as illustrated in this video — uses an enzymatic process that closely mimics the way nature builds polymers like cellulose. He also plans to speak to materials manufacturers’ responsibility to enable environmentally friendly end-of-life solutions, acknowledging that diverse applications and markets are best served by different technical solutions. DuPont’s biomaterials team is working hard to help ensure that end-use markets are developed for recycled materials. For instance, DuPont recently announced a collaboration with Unifi to create high-performance, renewably sourced garment insulation made in part with recycled material and Sorona polymer, offering leading apparel brands a new sustainable choice for cold-weather products.

The Future of Materials Summit — which runs through November 14 — will analyze the modern materials “ecosystem” from research and development, through supply chains, to business applications and end of use. The Economist is bringing together leading manufacturers, scientists, technologists and policymakers for a discussion intended to better understand what is happening, and to illuminate the role of novel materials in the manufacturing industries of the future.

DuPont’s industry-leading excellence in the biomaterials industry has received a number of accolades over the past year, including the Platts Global Energy “Breakthrough Solution of the Year” award for the development partnership with ADM; Frost & Sullivan’s award for 2017 European Company of the Year Award for bio-based materials; and, most recently, PLASTICS’ 2017 Innovation in Bioplastics Award.

Double-Duty Textile Developed By Stanford Researchers Could Warm Or Cool

STANFORD, Calif. — November 10, 2017 — Stanford researchers have developed a reversible fabric that, without expending effort or energy, keeps skin a comfortable temperature whatever the weather.

In a paper published November 10 in Science Advances, a team led by Yi Cui, professor of materials science and engineering, created a double-sided fabric based on the same material as everyday kitchen wrap. Their fabric can either warm or cool the wearer, depending which side faces out.

This project came out of Cui’s interest in energy efficiency and his expertise in manipulating nanoscale materials. He thought if people could be more comfortable in a range of temperatures, they could save energy on air conditioning and central heating.

“Why do you need to cool and heat the whole building? Why don’t you cool and heat individual people?” asked Cui.

Thirteen percent of all of the energy consumed in the United States is simply dedicated to indoor temperature control. But for every 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) that a thermostat is turned down, a building can save a whopping 10 percent of its heating energy, and the reverse is true for cooling. Adjusting temperature controls by just a few degrees has major effects on energy consumption.

Cooling kitchen wrap

Our bodies have many ways of controlling our temperature. When it’s cold, the hairs in our skin stand out to trap warm air. Eventually, we may start shivering to produce more radiant heat in our muscles. When it’s hot, we release heat as infrared radiation from our skin, and if we’re still warm we start to sweat. Water evaporating away from our bodies carries a large amount of heat with it. But those mechanisms only help within a few degrees. Get outside the temperature range to which our bodies can adapt, and we reach for the dial on the heating or air conditioning.

In 2016, the team announced a first step toward a solution: fabric that allowed the body’s heat to pass through, cooling the skin. Although they were inspired by transparent, water-impermeable kitchen wrap, their new material was opaque, breathable and retained its ability to shuttle infrared radiation away from the body. Compared to a cotton sample, their fabric kept artificial skin 2°C cooler in a laboratory test — possibly enough to stop a person from ever reaching for a fan or the building thermostat. The team’s first textile could save a building full of workers 20 to 30 percent of their total energy budget.

Reversible progress

“Right around when we figured out cooling, then came the question: Can you do heating?” said postdoctoral fellow Po-Chun Hsu, who was first author on the recent paper. It was a particularly chilly winter, and he was headed to a conference in Minneapolis with a carry-on bag full of coats. Could he create an article of clothing that would serve him in a crowded warm conference room as well as on the frosty street?

Hsu realized that controlling radiation could work both ways. He stacked two layers of material with different abilities to release heat energy, and then sandwiched them between layers of their cooling polyethylene.

On one side, a copper coating traps heat between a polyethylene layer and the skin; on the other, a carbon coating releases heat under another layer of polyethylene. Worn with the copper layer facing out, the material traps heat and warms the skin on cool days. With the carbon layer facing out, it releases heat, keeping the wearer cool.

Combined, the sandwiched material can increase a person’s range of comfortable temperatures over 10°F, and Hsu predicts that the potential range is much larger — close to 25°F. With inhabitants wearing a textile like that, buildings in some climates might never need air conditioning or central heating at all.

Practical polymers

The white-colored fabric isn’t quite wearable yet, the team said.

“Ideally, when we get to the stuff you want to wear on skin, we’ll need to make it into a fiber woven structure,” said Cui. Woven textiles are stronger, more elastic, more comfortable, and look much more like typical clothing. But good news: They’ve already started testing to make sure their fabric will be machine washable.

“From my perspective, this work really highlights the significant opportunities in combining thermal engineering concepts with nanophotonic structures for creating novel functionalities,” said Shanhui Fan, a professor of electrical engineering who participated in the work.

The team’s ambitions are to create an easily manufactured, practical textile that people could use to save huge amounts of energy around the world. And they don’t stop there – Cui, Hsu and Fan envision clothing with medical devices and even entertainment printed right into the fabric.

“I think we are only seeing the beginning of many creative ideas that can come out of such combinations,” Fan said.

Cui is also professor of photon science at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and a member of Stanford Bio-X, the Precourt Institute for Energy and the Stanford Neurosciences Institute. Fan is also an affiliate of the Precourt Institute for Energy. Other Stanford researchers who contributed to the study are postdoctoral fellows Chong Liu, Alex Y. Song, Jin Xie, Kai Liu and Lili Cai; graduate students Ze Zhang, Yucan Peng, Chun-Lan Wu and Shang Zhai; senior research engineer Peter B. Catrysse; and Arun Majumdar, a professor of mechanical engineering and of photon science and co-director of the Precourt Institute for Energy.

The work was funded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy, U.S. Department of Energy.

OurSock.com: Online Custom Sock Company Launches Nationally

LAKEVILLE, Conn. — November 9, 2017 —  OurSock.com has launched as an online custom sock company that caters to universities, prep schools and companies as a one-stop shop for sock design and manufacturing. Andrew Epprecht, a 2017 graduate of The Hotchkiss School, in Lakeville, Conn., designed and manufactured custom socks for his alma mater to great success, which led to the birth of OurSock.com.

“In an age where ‘brand promotion’ is paramount, we see OurSock.com as a creative way for schools and companies to do just that,” Epprecht said. “OurSock.com offers a service that allows institutions and companies a great way to incorporate their logos into an item that everyone uses on a daily basis.”

OurSock.com pitches branded socks for schools as gifts or rewards to students and alumni as a simple and easy way to drum up school spirit.

“We know that young alumni are critical but challenging targets for schools to engage,” Epprecht said. “Providing custom socks is an innovative way to differentiate outreach strategy to address this group. For non-profits, it’s also a great way to retain and reward volunteers.”

Early success with several east coast prep schools had OurSock.com looking to expand its reach, with Epprecht and his staff reaching out to potential customers and branching out to new industries like charities and hospitals. A redesigned website was launched to accommodate the expanded customer base.

Running a business at just 18 years old might sound daunting, but for Epprecht, it’s actually old hat.

“I was 15 when I started my first business, a sock company called Noble Stitch,” he said. “I hoped to revitalize a common clothing item by crowdsourcing designs for casual dress socks made from eco-friendly bamboo fiber. We’ve spent years perfecting the material content and now use the same unique bamboo cotton blend in the socks we offer for OurSock.com.”

Epprecht is taking a gap year to expand OurSock.com before beginning classes at Duke University in the fall of 2018.

“I knew I wanted to go to Duke when I heard about the Melissa & Doug Entrepreneurs program,” he said. “It’s a program that helps undergraduate entrepreneurs navigate the difficult entrepreneurial landscape by pairing them with mentors, and teaching them hands-on skills to succeed.”
