Linear or thermoplastic polymers are polymers that consist of long chains or strings of repeating units. These types of materials can be heated, allowing the polymer chains to slide over each other ...

Dow Global Technologies LLC proposes a process for removing contaminants from thermoplastics, such as PCR plastic, that avoids negative aspects including solvent extraction, surfactants, caustics or ...

SAINT-AUBIN-SUR-GAILLON (NORMANDY, EURE), France — March 2, 2026 — At JEC World 2026, DEMGY Group, will present its 2025 ...

Aircraft manufacturers have been benefiting from thermoplastic composites in the form of a tough, durable structural material for more than 15 years and aerospace design allowable databases are ...

While plastics are very useful on their own, they can be much stronger when reinforced and mixed with a range of fibers. Not surprisingly, this includes the thermoplastic polymers which are commonly ...

Reinforced thermoplastic pipe (RTP) mechanics encompass the study of the structural behaviours of composite pipe systems that integrate thermoplastic polymers with reinforcing elements, such as steel ...

Researchers took a middling monomer and, by using a special catalyst, they created a tougher polymer that can form long chains. The polymer can then be easily depolymerized back to the monomer state ...

Long-fiber thermoplastic (LFT) materials and technologies leader PlastiComp (Winona, MN) and Italian short-carbon-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics specialist Xenia (Mussolente) announced at JEC Europe ...

The scalable production process seamlessly combines performance, integrated noise reduction, and sustainability.

Not long ago, thermoplastic composites (TPCs) were heralded as the future of wind turbine blades. Recyclability, ease of repair and, especially, short mold cycle times made TPCs very attractive to ...

The use of plastics materials has increased dramatically throughout the world over the past 50 years, and now stands at roughly 100 billion pounds. Commercial plastics are known as resins in North ...
