A polymer is a chemical compound that contains a large number of identical molecular repeating units. A plastic material is a polymer, typically modified with additives, which can be molded or shaped ...

Hundreds of millions of tons of single-use plastic ends up in landfills every year, and even the small percentage of plastic that gets recycled can’t last forever. But our group of materials ...

Single-use plastics are a persistent source of environmental pollution, and the need to house a growing global population ...

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have developed a new class of baroplastic triblock copolymers that are biodegradable, recyclable, and moldable at low temperatures. These polymers can be ...

The creation of plastics from polymers is now an old industry. So, there are many methods, sub-methods, and specific synthetic variations now used by academics and industry scientists to create ...

Little pieces of polymer plastic. The plastics industry is trying to be as clean as possible, but it has a lot of obstacles to overcome. The late great comedian George Carlin once said that perhaps ...

A group of Japanese chemists may have come up with a game-changing solution to ocean plastic pollution. The group has created a plastic using acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). The best part is that the ...

The disposal of plastics is a global problem. They are nearly indestructible in natural conditions but are discarded worldwide on a large scale. The world produces around 359 million metric tons of ...

Recently, MKV worked with HolyPoly GmbH and Robert Bosch Power Tools to create a Universal Impact 800 Closed-Loop Edition ...
