Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a new method to recycle mixed ...

Requirement 2: Both thesis and non-thesis students will pick from one of the following Certificate programs and fulfill their required courses as an area of specialization (some of the certificate ...

A new process that converts PET plastic into monomer building blocks, which can be recycled into new PET products or upcycled into higher value materials. Harnessing moisture from air, Northwestern ...

University of Texas at Arlington engineering professor Sahadat Hossain explains how the unique mix of plastic and asphalt is made. He and a team of students are piloting the sustainable mix on a paved ...

Researchers turned hard-to-recycle plastic into hydrogen using battery acid. This circular upcycling system tackles multiple problematic waste streams at once, the scientists claim.

Plastics are inherently dielectrics or electrical insulators, with electrons tightly bound within their covalent polymer chains, preventing the free flow of charge. This property makes them ...

Polymer science advancements are leading to a tenfold increase in plastics use in motion control components within five years. New thermoplastic composites approach metal strength and modulus but with ...

Reinforced plastics, or composite materials, are always more difficult to recycle than other materials such as metals. Nevertheless, Bosch decided to try to reduce the carbon footprint of its power ...
