Smart factories use data analytics, automation, and modular design to enhance efficiency, adaptability, and sustainability in plastics manufacturing.

Additive manufacturing (AM) is emerging as a popular method in the research and development of electronics that use conductive polymers.

Plasticizer migration erodes performance and elevates compliance risk in PVC products. To counter this, surface engineering gives manufacturers direct, interface-level control.

An emerging technology, cold sintering, promises breakthroughs in the production of polymer-ceramic composites.

Radia’s WindRunner, the world’s largest aircraft, advances with Collier Aerospace’s engineering tools for faster, lighter, and certifiable structural design.

Hybrid stabilizers and smart extrusion enhance PVC pipe durability, recyclability, and energy efficiency for a sustainable future.

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.

Learn to read material datasheets—MFI, rheology, HDT, modulus, shrinkage and CTE—to cut injection molding cycle time and avoid warpage and rework.

Cleragel, a novel, anti-inflammatory hydrogel, could soon change the standard of care for chronic wounds.

Researchers are developing a more environmentally friendly and time-effective material for art preservation.

The incorporation of recycled polymers into transparent applications challenges engineers to control haze, color shifts, and light scattering.
