Resins

A decision made at the pigment stage can decide whether a plastic product is recyclable at all.

Packaging laws are accelerating. Learn how policy reshapes PLA choices, end-of-life claims, and design constraints ahead of ANTEC 2026.

Polymer electrolytes boost aluminum-air batteries with safer, leakproof, high-energy performance, unlocking aviation and aerospace electrification.

In high-loading Glass fiber–reinforced polypropylene composites, dispersion, not chemistry, determines flame-retardant performance.

Without PFAS, extrusion systems lose their tolerance for small mechanical flaws. What once ran unnoticed now drives degradation, buildup, and instability.

AI-assisted polymer design screens millions of candidates to identify chemically recyclable packaging polymers that still meet barrier and thermal targets.

AI control for recycled plastics stabilizes injection molding despite resin variability, reducing defects and improving operator confidence with explainable models.

Film defects are process signals. Connect die flow, cooling symmetry, and winding stress to improve gauge control and roll quality.

PLA PHA compatibilization for blown film can widen processing windows and improve toughness. See why morphology and moisture control matter.

Regulating for resilience, safety, and sustainability is crucial in the packaging industry.

Drawing on sedimentology, researchers have proposed a novel classification scheme for plastic waste of all sizes.

Polyolefins define modern plastics, but their chemical stability now drives a new search for smarter transformation pathways
