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, ...

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), Cleveland, say they have developed a new technology to recycle rigid, long-lasting plastics used in cars, planes, wind turbines and other ...

New method for producing thermoset plastics allows them to be broken down more easily after use. Thermoset polymers, found in car parts and electrical appliances, must be durable and heat-resistant ...

Composites of continuous carbon fibers and thermoset polymers can now be made using a new 3D printing technology. Such composites are strong and lightweight and may find applications in many ...

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 ...
