University of British Columbia (UBC) engineers have used polymeric scrap tire fibers (STF) to develop a more resilient type of concrete that could be used for concrete structures such as buildings, roads, dams and bridges, while reducing landfill waste. A paper on the work is published in the journal Materials and Structures. STF and 0.3%

Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells require precise temperature and moisture controls to be at their best. The performance of polymer-electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) and other multiphase flow technologies is significantly dependent on liquid-water management. The study used materials that are relevant to commercial fuel cells.

But we have demonstrated that by directly using power generated by the cold universe, we can chill water to cool buildings by as much as 5 ºC during the day without electricity and light the night without wires or batteries. The glass beads send heat radiation out from the polymer while the silver coating reflects incoming sunlight.
