Discover how polymer upcycling through reactive extrusion and FTIR microscopy enables enhanced blend compatibilization for ...

Polymer blends and alloys offer diverse properties through efficient and inexpensive manufacturing methods, making them applicable in several applications. 2 With increasing environmental concerns and ...

Scientists often seek new materials derived from polymers. Rather than starting a polymer search from scratch, they save time and money by blending existing polymers to achieve desired properties. But ...

We live surrounded by polymers and today, rather than come up with new polymers, there is a tendency to modify them in order to obtain new applications. Carbon nanotubes have excellent mechanical ...

The spaghetti-like internal structure of most plastics makes it hard for them to cast away heat, but a research team has made a plastic blend that does so 10 times better than its conventional ...

The field of polymer science has seen a transformative evolution with the development of self-healing biodegradable materials ...

Assembly of polymer blends (pdf) is of interest to form non-uniform morphologies with arbitrary shapes. Assembly is driven by selective hydrophobic/hydrophilic ...

Global industrial value chains are undergoing a major structural shift driven by waste reduction policies, lifecycle accountability frameworks, and corporate ESG compliance mandates. Biodegradable ...
