Nylons

Technological breakthroughs promise to revolutionize nylon recycling and drive material circularity across industries.

As sustainability takes center stage in packaging innovation, integrating Nanosilicates into polyamide has emerged as a key solution for industries demanding both durability and environmental responsibility.

Researchers have now developed a bioinspired double-stranded yarn to harvest water from atmospheric fog efficiently.

Seawool is produced by grinding oyster shells into nanobeads combined with recycled polyester. This process upcycles the waste material, sparking a fabric revolution in sustainable textiles.

Italian chemicals and materials supplier RadiciGroup took home an SPE Automotive Award in Europe recently for its development of an air intake manifold made entirely out of its recycled nylon. Marelli Group designed and manufactured the component.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) emerges as a transformative technology with the potential to redefine design paradigms and manufacturing processes across various industries, especially when using metal materials.

Researchers from Cornell University conducted a study that produced the first-ever microplastics human uptake map across 109 major countries worldwide. They found that humans often consume microplastics (MPs) in table salt, seafood, meat, and drinks.

AQUACHILL™ Dispersion coating emerges as an innovative solution to address cool-touch performance in bedding clothes.

A Product Carbon Footprint calculator, unveiled by BARLOG Plastics, aims to forecast recyclability from the development phase for injection molded parts.

The latest research reveals how recycled nylon (RN) combined with lignin-derived biocarbon (BioC) is setting new benchmarks in the materials science domain, especially within the automotive industry. This innovative approach not only addresses environmental concerns but also enhances the mechanical and flame retardant properties of materials used in automotive applications.
