Foam plastic insulation offers numerous benefits, making it an excellent choice for a variety of applications.

Fluoropolymers enhance various applications across multiple industries, including aerospace, automotive, electronics, packaging, and medical.

Why an assessment of the next gen of injection molding is needed? The global injection molding market was valued at USD 265.1 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6% from 2021 to 2028.

McCallah Ferry, a University of Akron researcher, conducted a study on granular activated carbon (GAC) filters to determine if removing PFAS from water is possible.  The research confirms that GAC filters effectively remove PFAS, ensuring safe drinking water.

Supramolecular polymers offer high-quality properties and low-viscosity melts. These features enable advanced applications such as self-healing materials and adaptive coatings.

Recycling has become a turning point for environmental sustainability, reducing waste, and conserving natural resources. However, not all materials are equally easy to recycle.

To increase the amount of recycled content in plastic products, quality assurance of recyclates must improve. Some manufacturers attempt to characterize the PCR in-house, and DSC tools will be crucial.

Le Pavé, a small French industrial startup, is playing an outsize role in creating uses for recycled plastics at the upcoming Paris Olympic Games. The Paris-based company has provided 11,000 recycled HDPE seats for use in two Olympic arenas as well as recycled plastic panels for use in the award podiums.

MIT and Georgia Tech researchers use beer yeast encapsulated in hydrogels to absorb lead from contaminated water.

Proper Electrostatic Discharge Prevention management is essential for maintaining device performance and extending the operational life of electronic devices.

Lignin, a significant byproduct of the pulp and paper industry, accounts for approximately 75 million tons of waste annually. This vast quantity of waste presents both a challenge and an opportunity.

The rapid increase in industrial and domestic waste makes polyurethane (PU) recycling a critical topic of study. Innovative recycling strategies are essential to manage this substantial plastic waste.
