Education & Training

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

Explore how MDO units and EVOH resins enable recyclable mono-material packaging, meeting European PPWR rules while improving strength, barrier, and sustainability.

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

Colombia and Latin America advance circular plastics with eco-design, R&D, and regulation, proving circularity moves forward without a global treaty.

Deep in the western Pacific Ocean, researchers investigated the microorganisms contributing to plastic degradation.

Researchers are pushing the boundaries of vehicle mass reduction by testing polymer metal hybrid (PMH) suspension components.

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

Polymer solution casting enables precise, cost-effective thin films and membranes, advancing control and performance in medical applications.

Researchers have evaluated the effects of glass fillers on the aging behavior of polymer powders for additive manufacturing (AM).

Plastic recycling remains low because systems are confusing and inconvenient. Clear rules and simpler processes can boost participation.

Dr. Prithu Mukhopadhyay, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, shares insights on microplastics and their impact.

Gate placement isn’t just a technical detail—it shapes everything from aesthetics to internal stress, shrinkage control, flow quality, and mold wear.
