Epoxy resin is a type of thermoset resin commonly used in glue, paint and composite materials. NIMS and ISMA have developed a new thermoset plastic recycling system capable of easily decomposing epoxy ...

Plastics are synthetic or semi-synthetic materials made from polymers, which are long chains of molecules typically derived from petroleum, natural gas, or other organic sources. Plastics are ...

A team of scientists has got a step closer to making several different types of plastic much easier to recycle, using a method that could be applied to a whole range of difficult-to-recycle polymers, ...

The film "The Shaping of Things to Come" explores the process of molding plastic products, detailing the evolution of techniques since its original release in 1942. Presented by the Boonton Molding ...

Many of them each have one prominent feature, but flaws in their other characteristics. This often leads to several plastics being required in one component. With BMC 0204, Lorenz Kunststoff GmbH has ...

Macromolecules make up the majority of plastics, which are then processed into shaped pieces, semi-finished goods, films, or fibers. The selection of macromolecules, the production method, and the ...

Polymers with breakable bonds inserted into the polymer chains (B) were more easily degraded and re-formed than those with breakable bonds in the cross-lnks (A). A team of UK scientists has got a step ...
