Developing Flame-Retardant, Antistatic Biodegradable Films: A Collaboration Between Chiang Mai University and Sungkyunkwan University
Researchers at Chiang Mai University and Sungkyunkwan University have created a biodegradable film that resists both flames and static electricity. Using Advent-supplied titanium, copper, and aluminium wires, the team achieved a strong, fire-safe, and antistatic polymer blend with potential for use in sustainable electronics and packaging.

How Nanoporous Copper Behaves Under Corrosion: Insights from Binghamton University Using Materials from Advent Research Materials
A research team at the State University of New York at Binghamton has published new findings on how nanoporous copper corrodes under different environmental conditions — using 99.99% high-purity copper supplied by Advent Research Materials.
Advent-Supplied Cobalt Wire Powers New Thin-Film Sensor Method at Chiang Mai University
Researchers at Chiang Mai University have created a porous Co₃O₄ thin film for humidity sensing using a spark discharge process with high-purity cobalt wire from Advent Research Materials. The method offers faster sensor response, eco-friendly production, and real potential for industrial use.

Early Brain Changes in Huntington’s Disease: New Study Uses Advent Research Materials in Breakthrough Findings
Researchers from the University of Dundee and Cardiff University have used precision metals supplied by Advent Research Materials to study early brain changes in the zQ175 mouse model of Huntington’s disease. Their findings reveal that synaptic dysfunction appears months before behavioural symptoms, providing new insight into how the disease develops and a valuable reference point for future neurodegenerative research.

Printed Polymer Transistors with Platinum Electrodes: A New Tool for Cardiac Electrophysiology
Researchers from the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia and Politecnico di Milano, working with partners at the University of Barcelona, the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology, and the University of Milano-Bicocca, have developed a non-invasive method to record action potentials from human stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes. Using printed polymer transistors with platinum wire electrodes (99.99% purity) supplied by Advent, the Nature Communications study demonstrates patch clamp–like fidelity while opening the door to scalable, high-throughput cardiac electrophysiology for drug testing and heart-on-chip applications.
