Film defects are process signals. Connect die flow, cooling symmetry, and winding stress to improve gauge control and roll quality.

Drawing on sedimentology, researchers have proposed a novel classification scheme for plastic waste of all sizes.

Polyolefins define modern plastics, but their chemical stability now drives a new search for smarter transformation pathways

3D-printed biodegradable meshes improve guided bone regeneration by combining custom fit, mechanical support, and enhanced tissue integration.

Hyper-nucleated polypropylene improves clarity, stiffness and recyclability in rigid packaging by controlling crystallization.

Recycling plastics at scale remains a challenge as waste streams grow more complex. Mixed materials and contamination limit the performance of many recycling routes.

Graphene nanoplatelets reinforce polypropylene, boosting strength, stiffness and conductivity in lightweight automotive components and ESD-safe parts.

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

Made from polylactic acid (PLA), these mono-material sandwich structures with foam-filled cores offer sustainability and high performance.

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