Compounding

The new EU 10/2011 and REACH mandates shift the focus of plastic compliance toward pigments and additives, affecting NIR recyclability and migration limits.

Researchers developed a novel, bio-based composite, enhanced with essential oil and chitosan, designed specifically for cosmetics packaging.

Moving beyond Melt Flow Index: select rheological measurements that match the deformation modes of injection molding and film blowing.

Biodegradable polymer blends strengthen and diversify sustainable applications in packaging, agriculture, and medicine.

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

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

Flexible bio-based polyester blocks transform brittle PLLA into ultra-tough copolymers with high extensibility and industrially relevant strength.

Rigid polyurethane composites with industrial waste fillers: mechanical strength, thermal conductivity, and machine-learning guided optimization.

GLA-based additives improve PLA flexibility and enzymatic breakdown, enabling better lifecycle performance in targeted packaging applications.

When two surfaces rub, static electricity builds as electrons move from one material to another during the contact and separation.
