Polymers are organic materials that are characterized by unique properties, such as tensile strength and viscoelastic behavior under deformation. As a result, these materials are used extensively in ...

Polymers are known to have excellent chemical resistance, strength, and elasticity. However, these very properties can hinder their chemical analysis. Therefore, the quality control techniques used ...

Makers of cars, planes, buses -- anything that needs strong, lightweight and heat resistant parts -- are poised to benefit from a new manufacturing process that requires only a quick touch from a ...

A team of researchers from North Carolina State University has demonstrated a way to use low-energy, visible light to produce polymer gel objects from pure monomer solutions. The work not only poses a ...

Achieving this level of reliability requires more than just heavy machinery; it demands a scientific approach to polymer chemistry and a disciplined manufacturing process. The Foundation of Batch ...

A new type of synthetic heart valve could soon be available to help treat children living with chronic rheumatic heart disease. Researchers at Harvard University’s Wyss Institute and John A. Paulson ...

Researchers have developed electrochemical methods that break down waste PET plastic, the material in most disposable water ...

The range of thermoplastic polymers that can be pulverised on the new machine comprises engineering plastics such as PP, PA6 and PC, but also high-performance plastics such as PPS, PEI and PEEK. The ...

Discover how polymer upcycling combines reactive extrusion and FTIR analysis to create high-performance recycled plastics.

It was at the heart of the Creps (‘Sports Expertise and Performance Resource Centre’) in Vichy, France, that the French Society of Plastics Engineers, SFIP, chose this year to hold its event dedicated ...
