Advanced Materials includes Communications, Reviews, and Feature Articles from the cutting edge of materials science, including topics in chemistry, physics, with scientists in the former Soviet Union, announced today that the group has appointed Dr. Frank E. Parsen as Director of Energy Storage Technologies. Benton H. Wilcoxon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Emtech, said, "We are very fortunate to have Dr. Parsen with our company. His vast experience with alkaline battery Alkaline batteries are a type of power cell dependent upon the reaction between zinc and manganese dioxide (Zn/MnO2). Compared with original zinc-carbon batteries, while both produce approximately 1. research and development will play an immeasurable role in the success of our energy storage program. As senior consultant Dr. Parsen will direct all aspects of research and development for the Group's improved single-use alkaline technology and our new capacitor projects underway in Ukraine," said Wilcoxon. During his 25 years with Duracell, the world's leading alkaline manufacturer, Dr. Parsen held a number of senior management positions, including Director of Engineering, Vice President Research and Development and Director of Duracell's International Research and Development Center. In addition to alkaline batteries, Dr. Parsen has worked extensively with lithium-based systems, silver oxide, mercuric mercuric /mer·cur·ic/ (mer-kur´ik) pertaining to mercury as a bivalent element. mer·cu·ric adj. Relating to or containing mercury, especially with a valence of 2. oxide and zinc-air technologies. Based on his work with these technologies Dr. Parsen has over 50 patents to his name. Joining Dr. Parsen's energy storage team at the new Ashurst Technology Center, in the Baltimore-Washington corridor, is Senior Process Engineer, Rudy P. Evans, formerly with Saft America, Inc., the US subsidiary of France's largest battery company. "With respect to our improved alkaline technology our team will now take formulas established in successful lab research and incorporate them into prototype, commercial scale battery types. Licensing discussions will commence upon the successful evaluation and patent protection of the technology," said Parsen. Ashurst has initiated two capacitor projects with its partners in Ukraine. Novel supercapacitor and pseudo-capacitor materials have demonstrated superior performance over materials used today. Capacitors combine the unique ability to provide strong burst of energy for relatively short durations with the capability to quickly recharge as many as 100,000 times. Current and anticipated applications for these capacitors, include memory backup, power beaming, defibrillators, short running consumer devices and in association with other power sources (hybrids) for consumer electronics and electric vehicles. Through a unique, cooperative business relationship the Ashurst Technology Group is integrating Western know-how in transitioning advanced materials and technologies from laboratory to market with the innovative materials research of several hundred top former Soviet scientists. The Group's key technologies include aluminum- scandium scandium (skăn`dēəm), metallic chemical element; symbol Sc; at. no. 21; at. wt. 44.9559; m.p. 1,541°C;; b.p. 2,831°C;; sp. gr. 2.99 at 20°C;; valence +3. Scandium is a soft silver-white metal. and titanium alloys, metal matrix composites, energy storage devices, basalt fibers and novel engines. CONTACT: Emtech Ltd.
