Automotive & Transportation

Thermally conductive polymers reduce weight, support complex designs, and improve heat management in EVs and electronics.

Researchers developed a superhydrophilic membrane for nanoplastic and oil removal, achieving high separation efficiency while reducing membrane fouling.

Automation, virtual DOE, and connected production data are reshaping how engineers optimize injection molding processes.

MFI and capillary rheometry provide useful flow data, but they may not fully predict polymer behavior under injection molding conditions.

A bipolar electrode electrical treatment separates resin from CFRP without directly wiring the composite into the circuit.

In-line Raman spectroscopy and rheology can reveal material changes during extrusion, helping track resin changeovers, viscosity, and process stabilization.

Uneven cooling creates internal stresses that cause warpage. Better mold cooling improves dimensional stability and part quality.

Temperature, screw speed, and feed rate can shift polycarbonate color by changing melt viscosity, shear, and pigment dispersion.

Functional polymer coatings can improve microplastic removal from wastewater by enhancing particle capture, membrane performance, and selective filtration.

ASR plastics from end-of-life vehicles could replace natural sand in concrete, reducing landfill waste while supporting infrastructure use.
