In manufacturing, the latest innovations in equipment, processes and materials often get tested first by automotive OEMs or Tier 1 suppliers.
Advanced plastics could result in the emergence of cheaper, lighter, more energy-efficient product components, including those used in LEDs, vehicles, and computers — if only they were better at dispersing heat.
A research team has conceived an easier and quicker technique to synthesize sulfur-containing polymers. The technique is believed to decrease the cost of large-scale synthesis.
Polycarbonates can be found in numerous products from phone cases to airplane windows. Globally, several million tons of polycarbonate are manufactured annually.
Trinseo, the international materials solution provider and manufacturer of plastics, synthetic rubber, and latex binders, stated today that its Consumer Essential Markets (CEM) business unit has partnered with Advanc3D Materials, a materials supplier for additive manufacturing, to manufacture filament made of Trinseo resins.
A new material capable of undulating and thus propelling itself forward under the influence of light has been developed by scientists at Eindhoven University of Technology and Kent State University. A strip of this polymer material is clamped in a rectangular frame. It goes for a walk all on its own when illuminated.
Scientists designing polymers that can bridge the biological and electronic divide must deal with incompatible messaging styles. Electronics rely on racing streams of electrons, but biological systems transmist signals using ions.
SABIC has been named the winner of the prestigious Best Polymer Producer Award in the category of polypropylene. The award is given in conjunction with the European Plastics Converters (EuPC) annual event, held in Madrid, Spain. The winner is selected based on European-wide customer satisfaction survey conducted by the Polymers for Europe Alliance.
Researchers from the Centre for Sustainable Chemical Technologies (CSCT) at the University of Bath have made it possible for some biodegradable plastics to be made using sugar and carbon dioxide in the future, replacing unsustainable plastics, which are made from crude oil.
For the first time, Columbia Engineering Scientists have developed an innovative method that is based on the nacre of oyster shells, which is a composite material with exceptional mechanical properties such as high resilience and strength.
