Sponge-Like Plastic Polymer can Revolutionise Environmental Conservation

The University of Liverpool has developed a plastic that is sponge-like. This material soaks up the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and will also make it easy to arrive at better energy sources from the continuous use of pollutants like fossil fuels. The sponge-like material is designed so that it can[…]
Shapeshifting Plastics – A Revolution in the Smart Age
Plastics Takes Over Aerospace

Throughout the latter half of the 20th century and much continuing in the new century, aeronautical engineering has evolved in leaps and bounds, with plastics assuming a real part in both practical upgrades and striking advances. Plastics components have been the smooth and significant development contributors in the world of[…]
Plastic Pipes – How It is Continually Re-Shaping Global Construction Markets

In a world fighting with years’ old infrastructural foundation and more successive critical climate changes while additionally looking for more sustainable and energy efficient building results — polymer-based materials are taking up a greater amount of the load. From bridges and streets to material and structures, inventive structures are utilizing[…]
The CAD CAM revolution in the Plastics industry

New innovation is continually energizing yet not generally reasonable. How frequently has an apparently as good as ever contraption hit the market that your wallet basically hasn’t had the capacity to stomach? Since the early improvement of SKETCHPAD in 1963, an ancestor of CAD and CAM programming, the issue has[…]
Plastics and its New Sustainability facets

The National Safety Council (NSC) sways Americans every June to take an interest in National Safety Month, which is committed to lessening preventable wounds. Past the evident agony and enduring brought on by preventable damages and passings, numerous individuals don’t join these particular mishaps with the monstrous trouble on societal,[…]
Injection Moulding: How Companies can ‘Mould’ Their Own Production

“Injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting material into a mould. Injection moulding can be performed with a host of materials, including metals, glasses, elastomers, confections, and most commonly thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers. Material for the part is fed into a heated barrel, mixed, and forced[…]
Melt-Flow Rate Testing

Though often criticized, MFR is a very good gauge of the relative average molecular weight of the polymer. Since molecular weight (MW) is the driving force behind performance in polymers, it turns out to be a very useful number. Melt indexers, or extrusion plastometers, are common lab tools used to[…]
Microcellular Foam – The Next Step From Cellular

Technology changes every day. Even in the world of plastics there is continual research and development to arrive at newer and fresher alternatives. In the light of the same, microcellular foam is a breakthrough technology in the plastics industry. The concept or the technology of microcellular thermoplastic foam appears to[…]
Wood-Plastic Composite

Though not a recent phenomenon, wood-plastic composites is posing to be a much sought after and compelling realm within the plastics industry. Also, there is a continually maturing interest in the new design potentialities that this amalgamation of components used, has to offer. It is, at its heart, a composite[…]
