A recent study by researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo unveils the molecular mechanisms explaining why some "stealth" ...

Over the past few decades, food packaging markets have captured the attention of researchers due to their direct impact on human health. Both metallic and nonmetallic materials find use in the food ...

Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...

When designing polymers to achieve desired characteristics, such as toughness, elasticity, and resilience, you must not only consider the type of polymer, but also the mechanics of its macromolecular ...

"As global industries embrace 5G, IoT, EVs, and flexible electronics, conductive polymers emerge as a game-changing material ...

New robust polymers that are chemically recyclable. Introducing a directing group enables catalytic cleavage of strong chemical bonds, allowing controlled degradation of robust polymers into monomers.

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 ...

You’ll often hear plastic pollution referred to as a problem. But the reality is that it’s multiple problems. Depending on the properties we need, we form plastics out of different polymers, each of ...
