Sustainable alternatives to natural rubber can solve environmental and supply chain challenges.

When extreme conditions demand superior performance, PEEK is the material of choice. It offers resistance, durability, and versatility across diverse industries.

Optimizing matrix viscosity is crucial for enhancing the mechanical performance of fiber-reinforced composites.

Dr. Prithu Mukhopadhyay, the SPE Journal of Vinyl & Additive Technology editor, discusses key aspects of PFAS, future regulations, and potential developments.

Researchers developed the Thermal Expansion Molding Process (TEMP), which aims to reduce high costs and improve inefficient large-scale production methods from traditional processes like autoclave molding and vacuum-bag-only (VBO).

With the growing demand for sustainable and high-performance materials, basalt fibers have become a promising reinforcement for marine composites.

High-performance thermoset materials cannot be remelted or reshaped. Consequently, recycling carbon-fiber-reinforced composites poses significant challenges.

The Polymer Composites (PC) Journal by SPE has selected “Evaluation of Fatigue Characteristics of 3D-Printed Composites Reinforced with Carbon Fiber Using Design of Experiments” as its Editor’s Choice article for December 2024.

In an era of the need for sustainable development and reduced environmental impact, lignocellulosic fibers (LCFs) have emerged as promising alternatives for creating eco-friendly engineering composites.

Borg-Warner Corporation introduced Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), an amorphous engineering thermoplastic, to the market in 1954. Since then, ABS has become essential across industries for its unique blend of properties. Today, manufacturers produce over 6,000 grades, ensuring its adaptability to diverse applications.

Developing high-performance solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) represents a major leap forward for energy storage technologies, particularly lithium-ion batteries.

Flexible electronics have emerged as a transformative force in modern technology, meeting demands for adaptable, lightweight, and wearable devices.
