3 key technical goals shaping innovative biobased and biohybrid materials engineered for high performance and sustainable transformation.
From polymer processing to vitrimers, Ica Manas-Zloczower’s story highlights mentorship, persistence, and ANTEC recognition.
AI-assisted polymer design screens millions of candidates to identify chemically recyclable packaging polymers that still meet barrier and thermal targets.
AI control for recycled plastics stabilizes injection molding despite resin variability, reducing defects and improving operator confidence with explainable models.
Film defects are process signals. Connect die flow, cooling symmetry, and winding stress to improve gauge control and roll quality.
PLA PHA compatibilization for blown film can widen processing windows and improve toughness. See why morphology and moisture control matter.
Regulating for resilience, safety, and sustainability is crucial in the packaging industry.
Circularity delays emissions, but geo-operations target mitigation by redirecting carbon from plastics into long-term geosphere storage via co-pyrolysis.
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) met to re-evaluate its 2023 proposal regarding per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
Drawing on sedimentology, researchers have proposed a novel classification scheme for plastic waste of all sizes.
