PFAS restrictions are forcing plastics suppliers to reformulate high-performance materials without sacrificing heat, friction, or durability.

Dimensionless analysis links flow-mark formation in polypropylene injection molding to melt relaxation, cavity scale, and the Weissenberg number.

Plastic additives enabled global polymer growth, but today they also create new challenges for recycling, compliance, and circular material design.

Ultrasonic plasticization helps micro-molders process small polymer volumes, reduce waste, and improve fine-feature replication in precision parts.

BTX aromatics provide key building blocks for resins, polyesters, polyamides, and high-performance plastics.

Melt filtration affects ABS recyclate quality, pressure stability, contaminant removal, melt flow, and the risk of polymer degradation.

Inspired by the porous bones of birds, these porous materials offer a new design framework for aircraft wings.

Researchers synthesized a cobalt aluminate pigment (CoAL2O4) that acts as both a flame retardant and colorant in polylactide (PLA).

Researchers developed a promising solution to prevent flame retardant migration in Polyamide 66 (PA66) while increasing durability.

Quantum pigments use quantum dots to create purer, brighter, and programmable color effects in plastics, coatings, and masterbatches.
