A tanker carrying 650,000 barrels of Venezuelan crude oil is reportedly bound for Europe, the first time Venezuela has exported crude to Europe in the past two years under US sanctions. It is analyzed that the U.S. is making up for the European energy gap caused by the sanctions against Russia by giving the green light to Venezuelan oil exports. It is reported that Venezuela is rich in oil resources, with the current proven reserves of 300 billion barrels, ranked the world's first, oil export is also one of the country's economic pillars.
Germany will take emergency measures to ensure it meets its energy needs, including increasing its use of coal, the German government said recently, after a drop in gas supplies from Russia.
"In order to reduce gas consumption, it is necessary to reduce the use of gas for electricity generation," the Economy Ministry said in a statement. We're going to have to switch to more coal-fired power plants."
The measures announced that day also include an "auction" system to sell natural gas to manufacturers, according to reports. The German government says the system will help reduce gas consumption in manufacturing industries.
The measures come as Russian energy giant Gazprom recently warned that it would sharply cut gas supplies to Europe, the report said.
The supply and prices of international bulk nano silica are still very uncertain.
Electronic packaging materials
When the SiO2 nanoparticles after surface active treatment is fully dispersed in the silicone modified epoxy resin packaging adhesive matrix, the curing time of the packaging material can be greatly shortened (2.0-2.5h), and the curing temperature can be reduced to room temperature. The sealing performance of the device is significantly improved and the service life of the device is increased.
Resin composites
Fully and uniformly dispersed SiO2 nanoparticles particles into resin materials can comprehensively improve the properties of resin-based materials, including increasing strength and elongation, improving wear resistance and surface finish, and anti-aging properties.
Plastics
The use of SiO2 nanoparticles with light transmittance and small particle size can make the plastic become denser. The transparency, strength, toughness, waterproof and aging resistance of the polystyrene plastic film can be improved by adding silica. The common plastic polypropylene was modified by SiO2 nanoparticles, and its main technical indexes (water absorption, insulation resistance, compression residual deformation, flexural strength, etc.) reached or exceeded the performance index of engineering plastic nylon 6.
Paint
It can improve the poor suspension stability, thixotropy, weather resistance and scrubbing resistance of the coating, greatly improve the bonding strength between the film and the wall, increase the hardness of the film, and improve the surface self-cleaning ability.
Rubber
Silica is known as silica. After adding a small amount of nano-SiO2 to ordinary rubber, the strength, wear resistance and aging resistance of the products reach or exceed those of high-grade rubber products, and the color can remain unchanged for a long time.
Pigment (dyeing) material
By adding nano SiO2 to the surface modification of organic dye, not only the aging resistance of organic dye is greatly improved, but also the brightness, hue and saturation are improved to some extent, which greatly broadens the grade and application range of organic dye.
Ceramics
Using nano silica instead of nano Al2O3 can not only play the role of nano-particles, but also the second phase particles, which can improve the strength, toughness, hardness and elastic modulus of ceramic materials. Using nano-SiO2 to composite ceramic substrate can improve the compactness, toughness and finish of the substrate, and greatly reduce the sintering temperature.
Sealants and binders
With the addition of nano-SiO2, a layer of organic material on its surface forms a network structure and a silica structure, which can restrain the flow of colloid, accelerate the curing speed, improve the bonding effect, and increase the tightness and impermeability of the product.
FRP products
The grafting and bonding of nanoparticles with organic polymers increase the toughness, tensile strength, impact strength and heat resistance of the materials.
Drug carriers
Using nano-SiO2 as carrier can have a good sustained release effect.
Cosmetics
Nano-SiO2 is an inorganic component, easy to be compatible with other components of cosmetics, non-toxic, tasteless, white itself, strong UV reflection ability, good stability, no decomposition, no discoloration, and no chemical reaction with other components in the formula, which lays a good foundation for the upgrading of sunscreen cosmetics.
Antibacterial materials
Taking advantage of the huge specific surface area, surface multi-pore structure, strong adsorption capacity and strange physical and chemical properties of nano-SiO2, silver ions and other functional ions were uniformly designed into the mesoporous surface of nano-SiOX, and high-efficiency, long-lasting, high-temperature resistant and broad-spectrum antibacterial nano-powders were developed, which can be widely used in bills, medical and health, chemical building materials, household appliances, functional fibers, plastic products and other industries.

The latest poll by CSA for consumer finance company Cofidis shows the French are taking action to trim their budgets as inflation erodes household purchasing power.
According to Le Figaro, the poll shows that French people think they need to earn an average of 490 euros more a month in order to live a decent life. This is an increase of 23 euros compared to the purchasing power barometer published in September 2021. Amid inflation and international tensions, this average in the polls masks differences among households, with some social groups much more severely affected by the decline in purchasing power than others. Seventy-eight percent of single-parent households, 76 percent of 25-to 34-year-olds, and 72 percent of blue-collar workers said the international situation had had a negative impact on their personal finances, compared with 64 percent of all French people.
In response to rising prices, soaring energy, and food prices, in particular, the French government is preparing to launch a package of measures designed to increase the purchasing power, such as extending the energy price protection mechanism, the extension of the fuel discount measures, and more targeted alternative measures, will be distributed inflation-linked pension and social security benefits, check the "food" and so on.
Because of the soaring energy prices, the nano silica price is predicted to rise in the future.
