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 ...

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 ...

Polyethylene plastics -- single-use bags and general-purpose bottles -- are indestructable forever plastics. That also makes them hard to recycle. Chemists have found a way to break down the polymer - ...

The process tackles two issues, the scientists said — an abundance of plastic waste and an increasing need for jet fuel.

Designing plastics that can be broken down easily after their use phase have often required a trade-off between stability and ...

A new type of synthetic heart valve could soon be available to help treat children living with chronic rheumatic heart disease. Researchers at Harvard University’s Wyss Institute and John A. Paulson ...

In a win for chemistry, inventors have designed a closed-loop path for synthesizing an exceptionally tough carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer and later recovering all of its starting materials. In a win ...

Potential applications of nanoscale polymer LEDS abound, but efficient nanofabrication methods to produce them remain limited. Reporting in the first issue of the Journal of Physics Materials, Thomas ...
