Compounding

Automotive recycling combines EOL bumpers with carbon fiber scraps. This rCF-rPP composite increases stiffness and diverts plastic from landfills.

A new hybrid composite EV battery housing reduces weight by 20% and costs by 30%. This SPE award-winning design optimizes safety and scalability.

Biochar improves fire performance and stiffness in polypropylene and polyethylene composites by reducing heat release rate and increasing thermal stability.

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.
