which is used for everything from tires to hot-melt adhesives. Genencor pegs the market for isoprene at 11 billion pounds by the year 2012.
Genencor has teamed up with Goodyear to create concept tires using Bioisoprene. From a chemical standpoint, we are making the same chemical,
It will take some time for these tires to actually hit the commercial market. Genencor and Goodyear are in the process of building a small-scale facility to really validate the process
and ensure that Bioisoprene doesn't in some way change the performance of Goodyear tires. Yes what they are doing could be good for the environment,
For an idea of the impact, consider that approximately 50 percent of consumer tires are made from polymers
as the company looks toward guaranteeing a cost-effective supply of the raw materials for its tires for many years to come e

#Nanogenerator harvests power from rolling tires A group of University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers and a collaborator from China have developed a nanogenerator that harvests energy from a car's rolling tire friction.
which is the first of its kind, in a paper published May 6, 2015, in the journal Nano Energy("Single-electrode triboelectric nanogenerator for scavenging friction energy from rolling tires").
Xudong Wang has developed a new way to harvest energy from rolling tires. The nanogenerator relies on the triboelectric effect to harness energy from the changing electric potential between the pavement and a vehicle's wheels.
"The friction between the tire and the ground consumes about 10 percent of a vehicle's fuel,
"The nanogenerator relies on an electrode integrated into a segment of the tire. When this part of the tire surface comes into contact with the ground,
the friction between those two surfaces ultimately produces an electrical charge-a type of contact electrification known as the triboelectric effect.
Fibers are everywhere from your underwear, pajamas, toothbrushes, tires, shoes, car seats, air filtration systems and even your clothes.
#New nanogenerators collect friction energy from rolling tires Team of engineers from University of Wisconsin-Madison and a collaborator from China have developed a new nanogenerator that is able to generate power from friction created by rolling
tires of the car. As with a big part of today automotive technological innovations, it is aimed at efficiency.
The nanogenerator harvests the wasted tire friction energy by relying on the triboelectric effect. It is the electric charge that results from the contact or rubbing together of two dissimilar objects.
Professor Xudong Wang, one of the authors of the study, noted that he friction between the tire
The technology is depending on an electrode integrated into a segment of the tire. When it comes into contact with the ground,
