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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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, ...

Battery acid from old cars, with a little help from a catalyst, can give plastic waste a new purpose, using it to drive the production of useful chemicals, powered by sunlight alone. A recent study by ...

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

Accurate monitoring of nanoparticle size and growth is essential to ensure scalability in the development of transfection vectors for gene delivery. This study highlights how Spatially Resolved-DLS ...

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 ...
