Polypropylene

ANTEC® 2025 research reveals critical insights about when and why carbon fiber reinforcement succeeds or fails in 3D printing.

As industries strive to integrate recycled materials into mainstream manufacturing, researchers continue to explore ways to enhance the usability of post-industrial recycled polypropylene (PIR-PP).

Engineers are transforming discarded PET, PVC, and PS into high-performance membranes for water treatment, desalination, and oil-water separation applications.

In a world of excessive branding, a new packaging trend is emerging that’s as much about what’s missing as what remains: Naked packaging design.

MacroCycle Technologies is redefining PET recycling through a scalable, energy-efficient molecular upcycling process.

Empowered by the global crisis of plastic fiber waste, Healix, a Dutch start-up, aims to close the loop by creating infinity polymers from recovered fishing and farming plastic waste. 

The market for polymer-based chiller components is expanding rapidly as industries seek cost efficiency, corrosion resistance, and energy savings.

The diesel effect can occur in molds with insufficient venting, leading to burned parts in injection molding. However, several solutions can help prevent this defect.

Plastic film’s slip and friction characteristics are essential for optimal performance in flexible packaging. Modifying these characteristics with additives can greatly benefit manufacturers.

The polymer waste management market will reach USD 6 billion by 2030, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 2.7% from 2025.
