Polymers are defined as materials consisting of macromolecules that are made up of small, regularly repeating smaller subunits. The coextrusion process is a manufacturing process that uses different ...

Changing consumer preferences are shaping the polymer industry in Northeast Ohio, where nearly 37,000 people are employed in ...

The quality of plastics is greatly influenced by the quality of the polymer used throughout the manufacturing process. Therefore, it is crucial to identify the polymer material composition during ...

In a win for chemistry, inventors at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have designed a closed-loop path for synthesizing an exceptionally tough carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer, ...

Polymer rheology—the study of how polymers flow and deform—is key to achieving consistent quality in manufacturing and 3D printing. From injection molding to extrusion, understanding viscosity, ...

Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) have developed a solid polymer coated with harmless viruses to detect the bacteria Salmonella enterica (S. enterica), an advance that could lead to ...

Perhaps this is a controversial viewpoint, but I am now thinking that recycling of 3D print waste is a lost cause.

Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) have developed a solid polymer coated with harmless viruses to detect ...

It was at the heart of the Creps (‘Sports Expertise and Performance Resource Centre’) in Vichy, France, that the French Society of Plastics Engineers, SFIP, chose this year to hold its event dedicated ...
