#GreenOil and Simon Nash news: "Green Oil will publish all supply chains and manufacturing processes"
"I hereby celebrate the end of PTFE products in the UK bike industry. Even Muc-off and GT-85 have phased out PTFE, a forever chemical (Because of our work criticising them.)"
"I have a new role as Environmental and Political Commentator on GB News"
And if I am concerned, are there any alternatives? I know there are non-stick hydrophobic ceramic coatings available for frying pans etc, but a compatible breadpan and paddle?
Side note, kids clothes at major UK retailers, including and particularly school uniform, are still sometimes 'teflon coated'. Was shocked when I came across this and obviously avoided.
📚 Teflon: Patent für den Kunststoff PTFE wurde am 4. Februar 1941 erteilt.
• 🧪 Entdeckung durch Roy Plunkett.
• 🍳 Hitzebeständig, antihaftbeschichtet.
• 🔬 Grundlage für vielfältige Anwendungen.

Oh, look! I updated a thing! Now a *set* of couplers to connect PTFE tubing for printers, dryboxes, etc.

(marvy. yet another potential source for #PTFE contamination in a new 'stretchable fabric'?)
"…researchers in 2D semiconductors tend not to engage with #ionomer chemistry, UCLA's energy and 2D optoelectronics subgroup constantly exchange ideas about materials processing.
That overlap sparked the idea of combining two "common" materials from different worlds—#Nafion and MoS2—and the unexpected synergy made the breakthrough possible."
A research team led by the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA, or CNSI, demonstrated a new type of light-emitting material expected to be suitable for photonics—devices based on light in the same way that today's electronics are based on electrical signals.
