Researchers have developed a low-temperature process converting plastic waste into liquid fuel as a way to re-use discarded plastic bags and other products. The most common waste we all see worldwide ...

Plastics are a pain. They are very useful during their product life but once disposed they don’t degrade naturally, and this creates huge problems in terms of waste disposal. Researchers in India have ...

In the future, perhaps we’ll be mining our landfills and fishing through our oceans for the raw materials to make fuel. Using a two-catalyst process, a joint U.S.-China team of researchers has figured ...

Researchers in India have developed a relatively low-temperature process to convert certain kinds of plastic waste into liquid fuel as a way to reuse discarded plastic bags and other products.

Liquid-crystal polymers are a unique class of wholly aromatic polyester poly mers that provide previously unavailable high-performance properties. Particularly outstanding is their heat-deflection ...

A focused beam of carbon dioxide laser light hits a sheet of uncoated paper. For a fraction of a second, the plant-based ...

Z-Polymers Inc. has announced a strategic investment from the wholly owned US subsidiary of Tokyo-based Kureha Corp. as well as a joint development agreement that will help to accelerate ...

In spite of their more recent commercialization, the discovery of liquid crystals dates back to the late 19th century to two European scientists, Austrian German Otto Lehmann and Friedrich Reinitzer.
