Printable chipless RFID tags using MXene inks enable remote sorting and then dissolve in a caustic wash to avoid contamination of recyclate.

Insights from K Show: 3D printing finds key niches in plastics, from conformal-cooling tooling to large-format parts and TPU lattices.

A two-year program conducted by CEFLEX gathered information from 1,700 data points and over 600 packaging samples. As a result, a design guide was developed to ensure the practical recyclability of flexible packaging.

High-temp DLP/SLA photopolymer inserts enable hybrid tooling, short-run injection molding, and faster iteration with stable, metal-like performance.

Fouling comes from additive volatility and interfacial energetics. Early shifts in cavity-pressure and ejector-force trends reveal their growth and prompt planned interventions.

Fluorine-free polymers are redefining liquid cooling hardware, delivering chemical stability and dielectric strength without relying on PFAS.

A novel waterfall cooling channel reduces pressure drop by 56% and boosts cooling efficiency in injection molding compared to conventional designs.

E-beam technology enhances polymers with wear resistance, fatigue strength, and integrated sterilization, redefining medical implants and devices.

Polymer extrusion wastes a significant amount of energy on inefficiencies. Here is how modern technologies are locking down every lost watt.

The market for polymer-based chiller components is expanding rapidly as industries seek cost efficiency, corrosion resistance, and energy savings.
