Foam Processing

Foam injection molding is now a mainstream process, and the MuCell® Designer’s Guide equips engineers to master its technical complexity.

eVTOL aircraft are a significant step forward for urban mobility, but their success hinges on a critical challenge: weight reduction. Advanced polymers and composites are the materials making this possible.

A novel material helps bypass the limitations of traditional materials used for oil spill cleanup.

Despite strong bioplastic growth, 2025 data reveal that earlier optimistic forecasts overstated expectations, reflecting a more complex market reality.

Foamed plastics and renewable polymers drive next-gen sustainable drinkware, which uses less material, improves insulation, and is fully recyclable.

Polystyrene (PS) is a thermoplastic that industries widely recognize for its lightweight nature, durability, and excellent protective properties.

A recent study offers a promising solution to create hybrid aerogels from surplus gelatin and chitosan.

Researchers at ANTEC® 2025 showed that foamed multilayer blown films can achieve densities compatible with mechanical sorting systems while maintaining essential packaging performance.

As demand for sustainable, high-performance insulation materials increases, researchers continue to explore innovative ways to enhance traditional polymers, such as polystyrene (PS).

As concerns over environmental and health risks grow, the aviation industry is taking crucial steps. It is replacing hazardous firefighting foams with safer, fluorine-free alternatives.
