Thermosets

Just-in-time plastics processing improves efficiency, but additives, recycled content, regulatory requirements, and supply risks now necessitate selective buffering.

Plastics supply chains became global through scale, feedstock economics, and shipping, but trade friction is reshaping the model.

The F1 Constructors’ Circularity Handbook helps teams measure material use, waste, and circularity in Formula 1 car manufacturing.

Low-carbon transport strategies can reduce emissions across plastics supply chains, from resin logistics to the movement of recycled materials.

Xenia’s HM Upgrade improves carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastics with higher stiffness, strength, impact resistance, and dimensional stability.

Microplastics can host microbial biofilms containing pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes in aquatic environments.

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

Gasification of automotive shredder plastic with biomass lowers CO₂ emissions and creates circular feedstock for chemical production.

Engineers use machine learning algorithms to map polymer degradation, replacing physical trials with precise predictive models for industrial extrusion pipelines.

Engineers leverage ultrasonic welding to assemble full-scale thermoplastic fuselages, eliminating mechanical fasteners and cutting cycle times.
