Fatigue failure prediction methods of elastomers help estimate product service life and play a critical role in preventing catastrophic failures.

Manufacturers increasingly use lightweight yet durable plastics to replace metals, with new applications emerging regularly.

As the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) grows, efficient, safe, and long-lasting batteries become critical to meet energy and performance needs. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) power most EVs, but they face energy density, safety, and long-term reliability limitations.

Reverse engineering (RE) in plastics processing has become an essential method for product reproduction, improvement, and optimization. It involves a thorough understanding of the design, manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance stages.

The demand for sustainable, low-carbon materials is rising, driven by the global push toward decarbonization and the increasing focus on reducing carbon emissions.

Sustainable polymer-based anticorrosive coatings offer technical, economic, and environmental advantages. Continuous advancements in this technology aim to overcome current challenges.

Incorporating recycled rubber as a filler in carbon black for NR/BR/SBR ternary blends offers a sustainable solution for the automotive tire industry, enhancing both performance and environmental impact.

Molds must be engineered with precision to achieve optimal results, making mold life a key consideration. Several factors influence injection mold life, including material choice, operating conditions, design, and maintenance.

A digital twin includes real-time data and continuous feedback from the physical world. Simulation is typically a static or hypothetical model used for scenario-based analysis.

Researchers have developed Covalent Adaptable Networks (CANs) for Carbon Nanotube reinforcement. These networks feature chemically reversible crosslinks, making them an option for producing recyclable thermosets.

The injection molding market features diverse companies, each providing tailored solutions to meet specific needs.

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have pioneered an innovative solution for sustainable wind energy.
