New binders for Li-ion batteries by Peck, Steve Teck Wei

“…Since a silicon and graphene composite with carbon black and the chosen binder were used to synthesise the electrode slurry, the optimum silicon to graphene weight ratio for electrodes with the new pectin binder was also investigated. Half-cells with lithium foil as the reference electrode were fabricated from a silicon-graphene composite electrode slurry with either PVDF or pectin binder using typical coin cell fabrication techniques and tested extensively using the Neware Battery Testing System (BTS).The feasibility of pectin binder as a potential attractive anode binder alternative was subsequently assessed. …”

NeuroTribes : The legacy of autism and how to think smarter about people who think differently / by Silberman, Steve, author 656044, Allen & Unwin (Online service) 656043

“…The perpetrators in Silberman’s telling are scientists, political leaders, and clinicians whose fixation on their interpretation of “normal” led to acts of deep cruelty and inhumanity against autistic people, deeds that span the spectrum from superficial to sadistic. The narrative arc is roughly chronological, stretching across time and highlighting some of the Big Non-autistic Names in autism’s long, strange and often terrible trip: Hans Asperger, Leo Kanner, Bruno Bettelheim, Bernard Rimland, Ole Ivar Lovaas, Lorna Wing. …”
