The quality of plastics is greatly influenced by the quality of the polymer used throughout the manufacturing process. Therefore, it is crucial to identify the polymer material composition during ...

Polymers are defined as materials consisting of macromolecules that are made up of small, regularly repeating smaller subunits. The coextrusion process is a manufacturing process that uses different ...

In a win for chemistry, inventors at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have designed a closed-loop path for synthesizing an exceptionally tough carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer, ...

Elastomers and thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are used in many areas of everyday life. While elastomers are cross-linked materials, TPEs can be melted again. Depending on the polymer matrix and ...

Polymer bearings do not operate in isolation. Their performance depends on how bearing materials mating surfaces, housings, ...

Myrias process uses the same NIL manufacturing tools as the incumbent polymer/nanoparticle composites, and offers ...

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 ...

A polymer, functionalized carbon fibers and a crosslinker are mixed and cured. The components can be retrieved by addition of an alcohol, pinacol. In a win for chemistry, inventors at the Department ...
