Foam Processing

Foamed TPE and PP could replace non-recyclable automotive soft-touch structures while reducing weight and increasing recycled content.

Foam Additive Manufacturing tunes TPU foam conductivity for flexible electronics by adjusting temperature and print speed.

PVC remains one of the world’s most versatile and widely used polymers, but producing high-performance PVC products requires far more than selecting the right resin. From pipe and window profiles to foam board and flooring, success depends on understanding the relationship between gelation, fusion, additives, and processing conditions.

Engineers benchmark flax-glass progressive folding against carbon-Kevlar foam cores to optimize kinetic energy absorption for aircraft safety.

Green coagulation and nanocellulose foams improve microplastic removal, yet integration challenges include clogging and media handling.

How the UK is scaling EPS recycling through better data, new collection tools, and chemical routes, while awareness still lags.

A new generation of polymer aerogels drives significant gains in thermal control across modern industries.

A new mortar made with recycled polyurethane foam offers lightweight thermal insulation for floors and roofs, advancing circular construction.

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.
