The 5 essential properties of a soft and bulky Tissue paper
Tissue papers are usually intended for the hygienic-sanitary market and, precisely for this reason, their most requested characteristics are softness and bulkiness. However, there are other important properties that depend, above all, on the type of fibers used and their processing.
Common pitfalls when mapping a process
Every problem in an organization can be found within an operational, support or management process. We often ask ourselves why the problem keeps occuring, and we try to solve it using the same level of thinking as when the problem originally appeared.
Bipolar Batteries: Little Gain for Lead-acid, Bright Future for Lithium
As its name implies, “bipolar” battery technology uses an electrode that is a cathode and an anode at the same time. It is a delicate balance, as we shall see. This technology has recently reached the production stage with lead-acid batteries.
